A Warmer World Will Mean More Pests and Pathogens for Crops
2013-09-02 11:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Time: When we talk about the challenge of ending hunger and feeding a growing global population, most of the focus is put on increasing production. That`s not surprising -- "more" is our solution to most social problems. But some of the hunger gap could be closed by making better use of the crops we do produce now. Take plant pests and diseases, which have historically laid waste to whole harvests. The Irish potato famine of the 1840s -- caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans -- led to the deaths...

Spleen-on-a-chip uses magnetic nanobeads to rid blood of pathogens

Every so often, there is a breakthrough in prosthetic, bionic limb technology, but humans can't quite replace their entire hearts or brains with a machine counterpart as of yet. The only thing we can do is add a machine supplement. Now, though, scientists at Harvard have built a machine spleen, which is able to remove pathogens from the bloodstream through the use of magnetic nanobeads.
