High-value chemicals produced from ethanol feedstocks could boost biorefinery economics
Biorefineries developed to produce ethanol from cellulose sources such as trees and fast-growing plants could get a significant economic boost from the sale of high-value chemicals - such as vanillin flavoring - that could be generated from the same feedstock.   view more (2006-09-11)

A plan for reintroducing megafauna to North America
Dozens of megafauna (large animals over 100 pounds) - such as giant tortoises, horses, elephants, and cheetah - went extinct in North America13,000 years ago during the end of the Pleistocene.   view more (2006-10-03)
