CO2 could be stored below the ocean floor
CO2 emissions could be stored in the form of hydrates under ocean floor sediments, kept in place by the natural pressure created by the weight of the sea water above. [ + ]
Link found between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's
Researchers have suggested a possible mechanism linking diabetes to Alzheimer's disease, in a new discovery that amyloid beta in the blood comes from periphery organs like the pancreas and liver — not only the brain. [ + ]
New imaging approach provides a clearer picture of blood vessels
