Polls and pundits got Trump Rally wrong. What’s next? The Trump rally that has boosted equity markets around the world will be 7 months old. It wasn’t supposed to be like that. Mega-billionaire George Soros who bet big against a Trump victory also bet big against a Trump market rally. Back in January, the Royal Bank of Scotland advised clients...
Newspaper revival? Hate Trump media wave won’t save them
The New York Times and Washington Post, forged by their obsessive coverage of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, is seeing surging digital readership. But that will be short-lived. The newspaper industry, as we forecast, is quietly but quickly fading. The Russia-collusion media storm is driven in large part by an endless stream of leaks fed to The...

From plant to sustainable plastic
A research team working under the US Department of Energy’s Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation has developed a new way to turn plants into plastic. The scientists converted plant sugars to furfural, a compound common in bran. Then they converted furfural into something called tetrahydrofuran, also called oxolane, which is a precursor of plastics. Finally, they dehydrated the oxolane, which...
A cure for AIDS?
Genetic engineering may hold the key to curing AIDS. Once inside the body, the often-lethal HIV virus that causes AIDS is hard to stamp out, partly because the virus incorporates itself into the genes of normal cells. That makes it hard to target with conventional drugs. Now a research team at Temple University has engineered a way to get hold...
A 3D snapshot of inner you
One barrier to printing or culturing replacement organs has been the difficulty of getting them to grow blood vessels needed to keep them alive once implanted into a body.

A study commissioned by the European Union finds a growing chance that the EU’s food chain will be disrupted in coming decades by water shortages elsewhere in the world. Europe’s meat and dairy industries rely on soybeans grown in North and South America because there’s not enough pasture or farmland in Europe to support those industries in their current size....
