Renewable planetary resources reach their limits

Humanity should use planetary resources with care Can the world continue expanding its use of renewable resources at an increasing rate? Most likely not. Using a data set of over 25 resources researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Yale University and Michigan State University demonstrate that several key resources have recently passed,

The potential of straw for the energy mix has been underestimated

Straw from agriculture could play an important role in the future energy mix for Germany. Up until now it has been underutilised as a biomass residue and waste material. These were the conclusions of a study conducted by the TLL (Thueringian regional institute for agriculture), the DBFZ (German biomass research center) and the Helmholtz Center

Luminous Bacterial Proteins Detect Chemicals in Water

This is the concept: If the analyzed sample shines red, then the water is ‘clean;’ While residual medications don’t belong in the water, trace metals from industrial process waters handled by the recycling industry are, in contrast, valuable resources. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a simple color sensor principle which facilitates the

Breast cancer breakthrough is a tribute to our scientists

TALKING of heroes, Victorian scientists have done it again with another major breakthrough in the treatment of breast cancer. As the Sunday Herald Sun reports on page 7 today, a team from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre has announced it is working on a type of vaccine that “mops” up breast cancer cells left after radiation treatment.
