In a new study, a team of researchers from UCLA Samueli and the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry have discovered a potentially very useful product in a fungal genome. This could lead to the first new class […]

Once because we could use those crops as food for people and second because we use good agriculture lands to generate energy. But what if we could use an alternative to the crops and use smaller areas of lands to generate the same amount of energy?
