...Chip’s inclusion of a broader range of guest instruments contributes to the album’s effective new sound. Outside collaborators include Fimber Bravo, who plays steel pans on the title track, as well as drummers Charles Hayward of post-punk legends This Heat, and Leo Taylor of post-rock band The Invisible. The upbeat “Hand Me Down Your Love” is driven by a prominent piano line; however, it also includes a powerfully distorted refrain alongside its developed instrumentation and the pure simplicity of the vocals. This combination of disparate elements into...
Mycelium doesn't taste very good, but once it's dried, it has some remarkable properties. It's nontoxic, fireproof and mold- and water-resistant, and it traps more heat than fiberglass insulation. It's also stronger, pound for pound, than concrete. In December, Ross completed what is believed to be the first structure made entirely of mushroom. (Sorry, the homes in the fictional Smurf village don't count.) The 500 bricks he grew at Far West Fungi were so sturdy that he destroyed many a metal file and saw blade in shaping the 'shrooms into an archway...

...northwesterly winds from central Australia's parched desert caused fires that spread over 1 million acres (413,000 hectares), killing 173 people. Over 2000 homes were reduced to ash, dozens of towns were emptied of their populations and native wildlife was cremated on a devastating scale. The intense heat boiled 200,000 trout alive in their ponds outside of Marysville, the town worst hit by the fires. (See pictures of the koala rescue effort during the fires...
...rough proxy of what would likely happen in the real world as CO2 levels mount. Whether the forests' growth spurt might actually impact global warming by absorbing and storing more carbon is doubtful. While it's true that more trees suck up more carbon, they also produce more dark, heat-absorbing foliage, which somewhat counteracts the benefit. In addition, one extra tree per acre per year doesn't make much of a dent in the atmospheric carbon load, not to mention that it's still unknown what the effect would be in other kinds of forests...
