‘Green genes’ in yeast may boost biofuel production by increasing stress tolerance
‘Green genes’ in yeast may boost biofuel production by increasing stress tolerance An effort to increase biofuel production has led scientists to discover genes in yeast that improve their tolerance to ethanol, allowing the production of more ethanol from the same amount of nutrients. A new study shows how genetically altered yeast cells survive higher […]

how is the energy in fission created?
Question by shish2kabob: how is the energy in fission created? I know that because of the extra neutrons in the uranium 235 nucleus is why the nuclear force is weakened and is unstable, so when a neutron bombards it the bond breaks, fission products are produces, with 2 to 3 neutrons, but where does the […]
