| Trash burning worldwide significantly worsens air pollution Posted: 26 Aug 2014 09:10 AM PDT Unregulated trash burning around the globe is pumping far more pollution into the atmosphere than shown by official records. A new study estimates that more than 40 percent of the world's garbage is burned in such fires, with emissions that can substantially affect human health and climate. |
| Do we live in a 2-D hologram? Experiment will test the nature of the universe Posted: 26 Aug 2014 09:10 AM PDT A unique experiment called the Holometer has started collecting data that will answer some mind-bending questions about our universe -- including whether we live in a hologram. |
| Earth can sustain more terrestrial plant growth than previously thought, analysis shows Posted: 26 Aug 2014 07:08 AM PDT A new analysis suggests the planet can produce much more land-plant biomass -- the total material in leaves, stems, roots, fruits, grains and other terrestrial plant parts -- than previously thought. The study recalculates the theoretical limit of terrestrial plant productivity, and finds that it is much higher than many current estimates allow. |
| Gut bacteria that protect against food allergies identified Posted: 25 Aug 2014 12:20 PM PDT The presence of Clostridia, a common class of gut bacteria, protects against food allergies, a new study in mice finds. The discovery points toward probiotic therapies for this so-far untreatable condition. Food allergies affect 15 million Americans, including one in 13 children, who live with this potentially life-threatening disease that currently has no cure, researchers note. |
