Microbes that extract rare earth elements also can capture carbon

Cornell geochemists and synthetic biologists have collaborated to improve the efficiency of microbes that can dissolve rocks to extract critical minerals while speeding carbon sequestration from air.

Research at risk: Better testing for tick-borne diseases

Unlike some current tests, new testing could provide results even before symptoms occur – and even for unknown diseases.

Biodiversity allows for sustainable fisheries, better nutrition

To satisfy the seafood needs of billions of people, offering them access to a more biodiverse array of fish creates opportunities to mix-and-match species to obtain better nutrition from smaller portions of fish.
