...year the company will launch a new high-end sedan for the U.S. market, the Azera, and early in 2006 it will introduce a minivan, the Entourage. Down the road Hyundai plans to roll out a larger SUV and its first hybrid vehicle. The company is also opening manufacturing plants around the world that should help it penetrate key markets. Hyundai is investing $600 million in a factory in the southern Indian city of Madras. Due to open in 2007, the plant will be Hyundai's second in India. And in May, Hyundai opened its first U.S. factory...

"In the next 10 years the problem will become even more serious," predicts Zhu Tong, an environmental-science professor at Peking University, who notes that China's skyrocketing car ownership and lax implementation of power-plant-emission regulations could be an asphyxiating mix for global air quality...
...getting a much better understanding of what individual genes do, no matter where they're from. The challenge, explains Venter, is to identify the genes that allow some microbes to change sunlight into sugars, others to absorb carbon dioxide from the air and still others to transform dead plant matter into clean-burning hydrogen...
...Energy lab in Walnut Creek, Calif., announced in the journal Science that they had for the first time identified the unique mixes of microbes that thrive in different sorts of ecosystems. In farm soil, for example, there are any number of genes that produce substances that break down plant material--rotting genes, you might call them. In seawater, by contrast, there are very few rotting genes but lots of genes that process salts. By understanding the microbial gene profile of a healthy environment, scientists will be able to gauge the health of other ecosystems...
