WASHINGTON DC - Scientists say they’ve identified an alternative way to test for recent marijuana use that’s significantly more accurate than standard THC blood tests that sometimes misrepresent a person’s potential impairment depending on frequently they use cannabis. And they’re actively working to build on that research with an expanded study. The initial study, which
DETROIT - Electric vehicles may reign supreme in the clean transportation conversation, but a silent revolution is brewing beneath the hood of a different technology: the hydrogen combustion engine.
