The study of environmental microbiomes has taken on new urgency in light of the pervasive presence of microplastics in natural ecosystems. The ...

Plastic pollution remains one of the most persistent environmental crises, with polystyrene (PS) among the hardest polymers ...

By converting plastic waste into a microbe-friendly food source, scientists have built an upcycling pipeline that turns the waste into a variety of useful products. The findings are detailed in the ...

Plastic pollution remains one of the most persistent environmental crises, with polystyrene (PS) among the hardest polymers to break down due to its ...

Professor Loren E. Babcock examines the key processes of fossilization in paleontology, highlighting the critical role of ...

The content details various categories of AOPs—including ozone-based, radiation-driven, catalytic, and physical methods—highlighting their mechanisms, chemicals involved, ...

Bio-based polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered one of the most promising sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived plastics. Poly[(D-lactate)-co-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (LAHB) is an ...

With some luck, specialized equipment, a supervolcano and a narrow hole 30 stories deep, researchers demonstrated that earthquakes shake up more than just rocks—they also boost microbe populations ...

An ocean-derived innovation from NantBioRenewables addresses California’s $10-billion plastic packaging challenge by solving the “slow-melt” problem of traditional bioplastics California leads the ...
