Artificial Forest Nanosystem Mimics Photosynthesis, Researchers Say
2013-05-17 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: U.S. scientists have developed what they say is the first integrated nanosystem capable of replicating the process of photosynthesis, a sort of artificial forest that could one day lead to the production of hydrogen that could be used to power fuel cells. Composed of nanowire structures -- including silicon trunks and titanium oxide branches -- the system mimics the role played by chloroplasts in promoting photosynthesis in green plants. By assembling the trees in a dense array, resembling...

Researchers create cheap, single-pixel 3D camera that can see beyond visible light
2013-05-17 18:12:01| Extremetech
Rather than using the millions of pixels normally found in 3D imaging cameras, a team of scientists from Glasgow University have cut that down to a single, light-sensing pixel, not only making the camera smaller, but much cheaper as well. Furthermore, along with creating 3D images, the scientists claim that the new single-pixel camera is capable of seeing frequencies beyond the visible spectrum of light.

Researchers develop highest-resolution global forest cover dataset to date
2013-05-17 06:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a 30-meter resolution forest cover data set that could boost efforts to track deforestation and forest degradation. The dataset, which is published in the International Journal of Digital Earth, is based on combining data from two satellite sensor systems: 250-meter resolution MOderate-resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) and 30-meter Landsat imagery. The result is a tree cover layer that is more accurate than the industry standard for...

Researchers find elevated levels of arsenic in US chicken meat
2013-05-16 01:00:00| Food Processing Technology
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have identified that chicken meat tested in the US contained higher than normal levels of arsenic - a chemical which is known to increase the risk of cancer.
