When I was younger, I used to think the Seralini study had something worth saying. The fact that he didn’t actually release the raw data at the beginning seemed unimportant, and I saw reason to at least consider what he found. After reading more
In the footsteps of a new law mandating commercial buildings to carry green roofs (covered in plants and/or solar panels), France has now struck a blow against food waste. A staggering 1/3 of all food is spoiled or squandered before anyone has the chance
Although concrete is the most used building material in the world, it has a serious flaw. It can crack with ease under tension. When these cracks become too large, they in turn lead to corrosion of the steel reinforcement inside, which not only results
It’s a common assumption that bioenergy is a new green technology, or at least one that is a better alternative to current fossil fuels, but this often isn’t the case. Statistics behind bioenergy look impressive on the face of it. 33.6% of energy in

This might sound like a bizarre claim in some spam email trying to convince you to buy male enhancement drugs, but it is actually the result of a recent study published in PLOS Pathogens. The study involved using an artificial spleen to examine the effects
Long before humans understood genes, they were selectively breeding animals (like dogs, sheep, etc) and plants to improve desired characteristics. Much of what we eat today on the international plate were crops that were once only grown in specific corners of the world, and
A meaningful change to commercial building code has been confirmed in France: rooftops on new buildings must either be partially covered in plants or solar panels, under a law approved on Thursday. Green roofs have an isolating effect, helping reduce the amount of energy
This might sound far-fetched, but ironically the idea isn’t even new. Since around the 1970s, humans have been successfully turning agricultural waste into actual food with the help of fungus and/or bacteria. In fact there exists at least one highly successful food based on
The common perception about drug addiction, or about the cause of addiction in general, is that people get addicted to drugs because the drugs are addictive and trick their body into thinking it needs them. This may, or may not, be supplemented with a
