Turning atmospheric CO 2 into greener batteries

Turning tumors into vaccines: co-opting the innate immune system.

Immunotherapy of cancer must be effective in the pre-established disease; i.e., in the therapeutic rather than prophylactic setting. Here, we review novel immunotherapeutic approaches for targeting established cancers. In addition to novel checkpoint-blocking antibodies, recent insight into innate immune sensors may further improve cancer immunotherapy protocols and help to overcome the limitat...

Atmospheric CO(2) monitoring from space.

A spectroscopic method of monitoring the atmospheric CO(2) mixing ratio vertical profile from space is described. An experimental design is presented for a solar occultation mode with the O(2)A band in the visible region to retrieve pressure and temperature profiles first, and then several CO(2) bands in the infrared region at 4.3, 2.7, and 2.0 mum to obtain CO(2) mixing ratio profiles. Instrum...

Turning manure into gold

At a time of global warming, growing environmental concerns and a political situation that is making many industrialised countries critically review their dependency on Middle Eastern oil, the need to develop alternatives to fossil fuels is becoming increasingly important. And this is not just a recurring demand from environmentalists; most industrialised countries signed the Kyoto Treaty, comm...
