Two Studies Give a Lift to Running Barefoot
Researchers say the design of most running shoes may increase the risk of injuries.
Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot.
The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first.Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.
But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot.

New Understanding of How Plants Use Water.
Plants naturally take in carbon dioxide they need for photosynthesis, the process of changing light energy to chemical energy. The carbon dioxide enters the plants through tiny holes or pores on the surface of leaves. However, each time a plant takes in one molecule of carbon dioxide gas, it loses hundreds of water molecules.
They say this suggests that changing plants to save more water will not affect plant growth. This method might be used to help engineer food crops that are resistant to extremely dry conditions.
The discovery could help farmers meet a growing demand for food as water supplies decrease.
