Greenwashing in food labelling A research team led by Göttingen University found that the label ‘climate neutral’ makes food appear significantly more climate-friendly than it actually is. Even when information about how the damage to the climate is being offset was explained, this did not stop consumers gettting the wrong idea. In contrast, a traffic light labelling system helped people to better assess the climate impact of food. The results were published in the journal Food Quality and Preference. more…

Glimpse into the nanoworld: microscope reveals tiniest cell processes What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Oxford, in collaboration with the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), have succeeded in developing a microscope with resolutions better than five nanometres (five billionths of a metre). This is roughly equivalent to the width of a hair split into 10,000 strands. more…
