: This article talks about the new distillation process that can improve the efficiency of ethanol production , which is one of the bio-fuel . Apart from being a sustainable source of energy , bio fuels are carbon neutral , which means they release into the environment carbon dioxide that they have consumed for their growth . Thus , production of bio-fuels (ethanol ) using this new process can be of great help in keeping the environment clean because of their significant contribution in energy production more economically releasing less carbon dioxide

2 . Solar 'superflare ' shredded Earth 's ozone

: The article debates at the impact of solar superflare on ozone layer . Moreover , it also discusses acid rain and skin cancer that are outcomes of damage to ozone layer . Acid rain is...
