Examining biofuels policy
So-called first-generation biofuels—ethanol from corn or sugarcane and biodiesel from rapeseed, soy, or palm oil—are meeting many of the mandates. But an NCB report on the ethics of biofuels production released last April acknowledges that in the rush to meet mandates, the large-scale production of first-generation biofuels presents problems.

Mapping of science
Mapping the landscape of science is about to get easier than ever before. Google and Microsoft are rolling out free tools that will enable researchers to analyse citation statistics, visualize research networks and track the hottest research fields. The systems could be attractive for scientists and institutions that are unable — or unwilling — to pay for existing metrics platforms, such as Thomson Reuters' Web of Knowledge and Elsevier's Scopus database.

Nitrous explanation is a gas
The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide undergoes partial decomposition depending on environmental conditions. Now researchers in Germany have determined the structure of an enzyme that breaks down the gas. Surprisingly, the team found that the active center of the N2O-reductase enzyme is made up of four copper atoms and two sulfur atoms, whereas biochemists had assumed incorrectly that it had only a single sulfur atom. The revelation has now led to a new mechanism that explains the decomposition of N2O. Nitrous oxide and nitrogen production on farmland and in forests depends on a multitude of opposing effects, the new study helps fill a gap in our understanding of the nitrogen cycle.
How the N2O Greenhouse Gas Is Decomposed
