...that material from blood cells found in the thorax of a prehistoric fly might be cloned to re-create a living dinosaur -- was echoed eerily in the science journals. Not only did scientists extract bits of DNA from the bone marrow of a 65 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, but they also recovered intact DNA from an insect trapped in amber back in the Mesozoic era, 130 million years...
...earth is reacting to the overuse of natural resources and the pollution of air, water and soil. Hurricane Katrina is an example. The U.S., one of the major consumers of fossil fuels, needs to lead the world in reducing global pollution by implementing the use of clean forms of energy. We are at the edge of the abyss. Let's step back before it is too late. Franklin Milman Tel Aviv...

...vehicle where the internal combustion engine isn't connected to the driveline," Gauthier says. Instead the internal combustion engine will be used to generate power for the car's electric motors. Over time, as the technology improves, the combustion engine will be replaced by fuel cells, ending fossil fuels' century-old grip on the automobile.- Reported by Joe Szczesny/Detroit and Michael Schuman/Tokyo
...Flickinger's paint concept needs nothing more than waste carbon sources, sunshine and a thin coating of highly concentrated microbes. For the moment, more fundamental scientific and engineering studies are needed in the laboratory to prove the concept. But, one day, Flickinger's polymers could help wean us off fossil fuels, one light bulb at a time...
