Shifting monsoons to hit tea crops, researchers warn
2016-04-25 08:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Slow changes in the annual monsoon season may be reducing yields in one of the worlds most important crops and gradually watering down the tea in China. Scientists in the US have used a new approach to examine harvests of Camellia sinensis the evergreen bush whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea - in southern Yunnan and other regions of China, and have identified a decline that could only be linked to the retreat of the monsoon, along with greater levels of downpour. That...

Researchers Say Only Way to Guarantee Enough Food in 2050 Is if the World Turns Vegan
2016-04-24 16:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: It is possible to produce enough food to feed a growing population without another tree being felled, according to new research. But theres a catch. The only way to guarantee enough food in 2050 is if the world turns vegan, says the study published Tuesday in Nature Communications. That way, even the most pessimistic projections for technological improvements and availability of farmland wouldnt see people going hungry. With a global transition to veganism unlikely, the study explores the...

Eureka! Researchers Accidentally Prolong Battery Life by 400%
2016-04-24 11:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have accidentally made a battery that can last up to 200,000 cycles of recharging and can last up to 400 times longer. According to their study published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, the original idea of the research was to create a solid-state battery by substituting the common liquid in the lithium batteries with a much thicker electrolyte gel. They also replaced the lithium in the batteries with gold nanowires for electric storage....

Researchers Baffled Over 21 Million-Year-Old Monkey Fossil
2016-04-22 11:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The newly discovered fossilized remains of a monkey found in North America has caught scientists off guard, and can possibly rewrite history books. Researchers capitalized the planned expansion of the Panama Canal to search for fossils buried beneath the earth. This lifetime opportunity didn't disappoint the researchers. They have uncovered quite a haul of fossilized remains, but the one that took center stage is the discovery of seven monkey teeth that were enclosed in a 21 million-year-old rock....
