The researchers then turned to living plants and used a technique called vascular infusion to deliver nanoparticles into Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant. The nanotubes moved into the chloroplast and boosted photosynthetic electron flow by about 30 percent.

Fünf britische Familien sind reicher als das ärmste Fünftel
Ben Phillips, Kampagnendirektor von Oxfam, äußert sich im Guardian äußerst besorgt: „Großbritannien wird zu einem tief gespaltenen Land, in dem sich die Einkommen der wohlhabenden Elite in einer Aufwärtsspirale befinden, während Millionen Familien kaum über die Runden kommen.“ Zum ersten Mal gäbe es auf der Insel mehr arbeitstätige Familien, die in Armut leben müssten, als Familien ohne Arbeit.
Geheime Lebensmittelbuch-Kommission abschaffen!
„Kalbfleisch-Leberwurst“ mit nur 15 Prozent Kalb, „Kirsch“-Tee ohne Kirschen, „Alaska-Seelachs“ ohne Lachs: Die beim Bundesernährungsministerium angesiedelte „Deutsche Lebensmittelbuch-Kommission“ legt absurde Bezeichnungen für Lebensmittel fest. Kein Wunder: Lobbyisten der Lebensmittelindustrie entscheiden mit und können verbraucherfreundliche Regeln blockieren. Schlimmer noch: Die Öffentlichkeit erfährt von diesen Vorgängen nichts – denn die Kommission tagt im Geheimen!

FACT SHEET: Ukraine-Related Sanctions
President Obama today issued a new Executive Order (E.O.) under the national emergency with respect to Ukraine that finds that the actions and policies of the Russian government with respect to Ukraine -– including through the deployment of Russian military forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine –- undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
This new authority expands upon E.O. 13660, which the President signed less than two weeks ago, by authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to impose sanctions on named officials of the Russian government, any individual or entity that operates in the Russian arms industry, and any designated individual or entity that acts on behalf of, or that provides material or other support to, any senior Russian government official. We have fashioned these sanctions to impose costs on named individuals who wield influence in the Russian government and those responsible for the deteriorating situation in Ukraine. We stand ready to use these authorities in a direct and targeted fashion as events warrant.
In response to the Russian government’s actions contributing to the crisis in Ukraine, this new E.O. lists seven Russian government officials who are being designated for sanctions. These individuals are Vladislav Surkov, Sergey Glazyev, Leonid Slutsky, Andrei Klishas, Valentina Matviyenko, Dmitry Rogozin, and Yelena Mizulina.

‚5G‘ Wireless Doesn‘t Even Technically Exist Yet, But Everyone‘s Pretty Sure It‘s Going To Fix Everything
When it comes to wireless networks, no amount of hype is too little when it comes to trying to promote looming standards or the next-generation of wireless technology. You probably remember WiMax, which Intel hyped as the „the most important invention since the Internet itself.“ The press gladly grabbed Intel‘s claim willingly and ran with it, insisting repeatedly that the technology was going to change absolutely everything. As it turned out, WiMax wound up being a niche solution that barely made a dent before being made irrelevant by other standards, like HSPA+ and LTE.
