#Novel Nano-Dispenser Systems Uses Less Insecticide to Kill Citrus Greening Bugs Researchers with the University of Florida and several other institutions have found a way in laboratory tests to use
Using insecticides is one of the few ways farmers currently have to treat their groves for greening, also known as Huanglongbing or HLB.
Citrus greening bacterium first enters the tree via the psyllid, which sucks on leaf sap and leaves behind greening bacteria.
Citrus greening was detected first in Florida in 2005. The citrus industry in Florida has lost approximately 100,000 citrus acres and $3. 6 billion in revenues since 2007, according to researchers with UF/IFAS.
Although current methods to control the spread of citrus greening are limited to the removal and destruction of infected trees and insecticide-based management of psyllid populations
Researchers also said that less insecticide could have beneficial environmental impacts. Further field tests are necessary to see how the nano-dispensers perform in sunlight
and therefore functions not just under controlled conditions in the laboratory but also in the constantly varying environment of the real world.

#Micro motors could soak up CO2 pollution in the oceans, study finds Machines that are smaller than the width of a human hair could one day help clean up carbon dioxide pollution in the oceans,
new research has found. Nanoengineers at the University of California, San diego, have designed enzyme-functionalized micromotors that rapidly zoom around in water,
remove carbon dioxide and convert it into a usable solid form. The proof of concept study represents a promising route to mitigate the build up of carbon dioxide,
a major greenhouse gas in the environment, said researchers. The team led by distinguished nanoengineering professor and chair Joseph Wang, published the work this month in the journal Angewandte Chemie."
"We're excited about the possibility of using these micromotors to combat ocean acidification and global warming,"said Virendra V. Singh, a postdoctoral scientist in Wang's research group and a co-first author of this study.
In their experiments, nanoengineers demonstrated that the micromotors rapidly decarbonated water solutions that were saturated with carbon dioxide.
"If the micromotors can use the environment as fuel, they will be more scalable, environmentally friendly and less expensive,"said Kaufmann n
