Plant biologists says that buying a real Christmas tree may not solve the world's climate ills, but it is environmentally better than getting an artificial one.  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2012 12:30 PM PST The holidays are a busy time for engagements, and an expert in corporate responsibility, says socially minded consumers have a lot to think about when it comes to finding the right rock.  |
| Installed price of solar photovoltaic systems in US continues to decline at rapid pace Posted: 27 Nov 2012 10:02 AM PST The installed price of solar photovoltaic power systems in the United States fell substantially in 2011 and through the first half of 2012, according to new research.  |
| Safer spinach? Scientist's technique dramatically reduces E. coli numbers Posted: 27 Nov 2012 10:02 AM PST Scientists have found a way to boost current industry capabilities when it comes to reducing the number of E. coli 0157:H7 cells that may live undetected on spinach leaves. By combining continuous ultrasound treatment with chlorine washing, they can reduce the total number of foodborne pathogenic bacteria by over 99.99 percent.  |
| New test to help heavy drinkers reduce alcohol intake Posted: 27 Nov 2012 07:15 AM PST Researchers have developed a computer-based test that could help heavy drinkers reduce their alcohol consumption.  |
