Grocery Delivery is Greener than Driving to Store

New research shows it’s also much more environmentally friendly to leave the car parked and opt for groceries delivered to your doorstep.

Univ. of Washington engineers have found that using a grocery delivery service can cut carbon dioxide emissions by at least half when compared with individual household trips to the store. Trucks filled to capacity that deliver to customers clustered in neighborhoods produced the most savings in carbon dioxide emissions.

Radioactive Microbes Nuke Tumor Cells

By Elizabeth Norton, ScienceNOW

A group of researchers has hit upon a novel way to halt the spread of pancreatic cancer: delivering radiation directly to the cancer cells using genetically modified bacteria. In a study of mice carrying human tumors, the therapy shrank the rodent’s primary tumors while sparing healthy tissue; it also blasted cancer cells that had spread throughout the animals, reducing their number by up to 90%.
