Brookhaven biochemists engineered duckweed, an aquatic plant, to produce large quantities of oil. If scaled up the approach could produce sustainable bio-based fuel without competing for high-value croplands while also potentially cleaning up agricultural wastewater.
Using engineered duckweed to produce biofuels at industrial scale and save croplands?

Could the radioactive isotope actinium-225 be just the right thing to treat cancer?
