| Gluten-free crackers made with hemp flour, decaffeinated green tea leaves Posted: 14 Mar 2014 01:42 PM PDT Hemp flour, a by-product of cold-pressed hemp oil, in combination with decaffeinated green tea leaves could be used to develop a gluten-free snack cracker with functional properties, a team of food scientists has found.  |
| People accept 3-colored raspberry jelly, study finds Posted: 14 Mar 2014 01:42 PM PDT A new study found that the production of a mixed raspberry jelly with black and yellow raspberries could be a good alternative to just one-colored jelly.determined that a jelly with both red, yellow and black raspberries had a high sensory acceptability, even greater than traditional jelly prepared only with the red raspberry.  |
| Lurking in the darkness of Chinese caves, five new species of armored spiders come to light Posted: 14 Mar 2014 08:15 AM PDT Armored spiders are medium to small species that derive their name from the complex pattern of the plates covering their abdomen strongly resembling body armor. Lurking in the darkness of caves In Southeast China, scientists discover and describe five new species of these exciting group of spiders.  |
| Recovering metals and minerals from waste Posted: 14 Mar 2014 06:36 AM PDT Scarcity of clean water is one of the most serious global challenges. Scientists have now developed energy-efficient methods for reuse of water in industrial processes and means for recovering valuable minerals and materials from waste for recycling. Rapid tools were also developed for identification of environmental pollutants.  |
| Understanding how mountains and rivers make life possible Posted: 13 Mar 2014 11:27 AM PDT Scientists have devised a pair of math equations that better describe how the topography and rock composition of a landscape affects the process by which carbon dioxide is transferred to oceans and eventually buried in Earth's interior. Scientists have long suspected that the so-called the geologic carbon cycle is responsible for Earth's clement and life-friendly conditions because it helps regulate atmospheric concentrations of CO2, a greenhouse gas that acts to trap the sun's heat. This cycle is also thought to have played an important role in slowly thawing the planet during those rare times in the past when temperatures dipped so low that the globe was plunged into a "snowball-Earth" scenario and glaciers blanketed the equator.  |
