Simulations argue that turning the Sahara into a forest could help fight climate change
Wine tastes different to those who are given information on the product before a wine tasting, tests where the test people received information on the wine before and after the tasting have shown.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the main actor in the drama of allergy. Researchers are looking at the biological role of IgE in the immune response of an organism and how a lack of control can lead to allergy.
Fish in US waters from Cape Hatteras to the Canadian border have moved away from their traditional, long-time habitats over the past four decades because of fundamental changes in the regional ecosystem, according to a new report. The report also points out the need to manage the waters off the northeastern coast of the United [...]
Researchers have illuminated how competition between proteins enhances combinatorial diversity during ubiquitination — the process that marks proteins for destruction.
Researchers have made the first high-resolution 3-D images of the inside of a polymer solar cell. This gives them important new insights in the nanoscale structure of polymer solar cells and its effect on the performance.

Mandatory alcohol testing programs for truck and bus drivers have contributed to a significant reduction in alcohol involvement in fatal crashes. Based on a study sample of nearly 70,000 motor carrier (heavy trucks and buses) drivers and over 83,000 non-motor-carrier (car) drivers, the estimated net effect of these programs was a 23 percent reduced risk [...]
One of the world’s most famous asteroid craters, the Chicxulub crater, has been the subject of research for about twenty years. The asteroid impact that formed it probably put an end to the dinosaurs and helped mammals to flourish. Researchers have now studied the most recent deposits that filled the crater. The results provide accurate [...]
