Neuroscientists have created a genetically engineered protein that may be able to improve memory in Alzheimers patients.

Snow and Landscape Research WSL recently discovered microbes in the Arctic and from the Alps that could be the key to eliminating some forms of plastic waste.A year after planting the plastic pieces.

Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest.This requirement makes the recycling process more energy- and financial-intensive.and that even biodegradable plastics used in compost bags take an exceptionally long time to decompose.

could in theory make the process more efficient.scientists say there is still a lot of work that must be done.

they observed bacteria and fungi growing on the plastic.

Under the microscope the decomposition work by the microbes is visible on this biodegradable plastic foil.spending on big-ticket items like motor vehicles or housing-related items.

whereas other areas are at least flat or doing a little better.Americans seem to be spending less ahead of the winter holidays.

the first such drop since March.hiked rates at their most aggressive clip since the 1980s to their current level of 5.
