The investigation has specifically centred on how the insects interact with minerals, extracting what they need and thus processing the captured resource. By understanding the geo-biology behind ant-mineral interactions, the team hope to geoengineer...

Associated Press: Australia's government repealed a much-maligned carbon tax on the nation's worst greenhouse gas polluters on Thursday, ending years of contention over a measure that became political poison for the lawmakers who imposed it.
