Wired Science on Israel #
June 14th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
Sometimes interesting things come consecutively from an interesting site with an unlikely theme. This is one of those times.
- Israeli scientist grew a tree from a 2000 year old seed. Alexis Madrigal wonders if such a tree could be a “native plant” or if it’s actually a seed without a country. (Yes, I do think it’s rather fitting that Israeli scientist conjured the thought of someone “without a country.”)
- Also, a solar-thermal demo plant has been completed in Israel. I’m a little surprised. I thought such things would forever exist only in memory.
