Called electrochemically mediated seawater desalination (EMSD) this technique has improved upon the current water desalination method.

Seawater desalination is one way to address this need, but most current methods for desalinating water rely on expensive and easily contaminated membranes.
That suggests that 99 percent desalination is not beyond our reach. Thiswater chip methodcould bring relief to millions around the globe who lack potable water.
This methodis much simpler and consumes less energy than other forms of desalination. Crooks explained:

A chemical signature in the lava flows links them to a massive volcanic field in Canada.

whether applying medical grade honey to wound sites in patients undergoing dialysis showed advantages over standard antibiotic use.
The researchers worked with dialysis patients because having a catheter inserted is a regular procedure for the hundreds of thousands of kidney dialysis patients.
They found that using honey showed no advantages over standard antibiotic use and was in fact worse for diabetic dialysis patients.
Getting something like honey to the market as a food product is pretty straightforward but for medicines the bar is set higher.
The main culprit Staph aureus lives on our skin and can cause infection around catheters used during treatment of dialysis-related infections.
A total of 371 trial participants undergoing dialysis received either standard antibiotic therapy to prevent infection
This is important because diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure so any therapy should work with normal and diabetic kidney dialysis patients.
We can conclude that honey therapy instead of antibiotics at least does no harm for many dialysis patients but also that it s not good for diabetics.
or nutrition though the search is complicated by the dozens of different chemical types that may be combining to contaminate the pollen bees collect for their hives.
and fungicides ne pollen sample contained 21 different anthropogenic chemicals. According to the study which appeared in the open-access journal PLOS One the researchers discovered healthy bees that ate the fungicides which are supposedly harmless to bees were actually three times more likely to become infected with a parasite that's known to cause CCD than bees
not exposed to the chemicals. The study also indicated that there may not be a single cause of the collapse of bee colonies in North america the deaths may result from the impact of a complex web of chemicals spanning different types and classes of pesticides and fungicides.
Fungicides are used to control things like fungus on apples and weren't expected to have an impact on healthy bees.
Since the study has shown that bees eating such fungicides are much more likely to become infected with a deadly parasite USDA may need to change the way it regulates the use of those chemicals around crops
Likewise if CCD is linked to other components of the complex array of anthropogenic chemicals in pollen it will become even more difficult to protect bee colonies not to mention the other forms of life subjected to those chemicals as they spread through the food web and the broader environment.
and other chemicals that bees in an agricultural setting are exposed to. CCD isn't just about the bees food crops
and it would make sense that chemicals designed to kill certain things like pests or weeds might also have unintended consequences when combined and later spread outside crops.
and instances where different sets of chemicals are used in and around crops pollinated by honeybee colonies.
but those regulations don't apply to the chemicals used to kill fungus on the crops as those substances were thought to be harmless to bees.

The strain of GM wheat found in Oregon was developed by the biotechnology company Monsanto officials confirmed.
Years ago Monsanto did research on GM wheat but the company ended its tests in 2005 without bringing the crop to market.
In order for Monsanto to gain approval to grow GM wheat to sell the company would need to petition the U s. Department of agriculture said Gregory Jaffe director of the Project on Biotechnology at the Center for Science
and the Public interest (CSPI) a consumer advocacy organization Monsanto never completed this petition Jaffe said.
Part of the reason Monsanto didn't follow through with its GM wheat may have been concern over the public's acceptance of the product.
But even if Monsanto's GM wheat got out (although there's no evidence that it has) it would be perfectly safe Sneller said.
When Monsanto was considering GM wheat the company consulted with the FDA and the agency said it had no concerns about the products'safety Smith said.
