Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.

For example, a team at the University of Surrey found that particulate pollution levels inside cars are up to 40% higher when the vehicle is stuck in a traffic jam or stopped at a red traffic light compared to free-flowing traffic conditions. Their paper is published in Atmospheric Environment. Earlier post.). —Leavey et al.

By supplying plants with the precise amount of water, nutrients, and light, indoor farming creates an ideal environment for their growth. New systems including LED grow lights provide specific wavelengths that promote photosynthesis and optimize plant growth. Produce often grows faster than it does on a traditional farm.
