2. Food packaging that provides visibility can reduce shelf life
   08-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Packaging that lets you see a food product may make you feel better as a consumer, but it is not good for the food. New ideas for plastics may help remedy that problem. Research by Virginia Tech food scientists has provided significant evidence that visible wavelengths of light cause taste and odor changes of food.

5. Which came first, the moth or the cactus?
   08-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
   It's not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket -- unless you're a senita moth. Found in the parched Sonoran desert, the moths have a rare, mutually dependent relationship with senita cacti, one of only three known dependencies in which an insect actively pollinates flowers for the purpose of assuring a food resource for its offspring. Rice University ecologists are using the relationship to test new theories of community ecology.

8. Marine life stirs ocean enough to affect climate, says FSU study
   10-13-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Oceanographers worldwide pay close attention to phytoplankton and with good reason. The microscopic plants that form the vast foundation of the marine food chain generate a staggering amount of power, and now a groundbreaking study led by Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla., has calculated just how much -- about five times the annual total power consumption of the human world.

9. Scientists offer new view of photosynthesis
   05-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   During the remarkable cascade of events of photosynthesis, plants scavenge nearly every photon of available light energy to produce food. In the May 4 issue of Science, an ASU Biodesign Institute team led by Neal Woodbury has published new insights that allow plants or bacteria to harness light energy efficiently even when conditions aren't optimal. The answers may be good news for organic solar cell technology, a low cost alternative to traditional silicon solar cells.
