Scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis technology that produces precursors of biodegradable nylon from biomass-derived compounds and ammonia. Nylon, the durable and elastic material, ...

Researchers document a multi-faceted global snapshot of the environmental aspects and trends surrounding single-use plastics in a review article. The researchers state that the largest area of ...

The global annual production of plastics rose to 400 million metric tons in 2022 and is projected to double by 2050. Many items produced are single-use, and less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled.

Plastic pollution is a major threat to human survival, with more than six hundred thousand tons of plastics on Earth. 2 In an effort to reduce the concentration of conventional plastics, scientists ...

Extraordinary amounts of energy, water, and capital are put into food systems. However, anywhere from 30 to 40% of the food that is produced ends up in landfills in the United States. What if there ...

A paper published by Aberystwyth University's Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) in the Algal ...

Scientists have discovered a way to convert widely used plastics into new materials with distinct properties that degrade ...

Billions of tons of plastic waste clutter our world. Most of it has accumulated on the ground and in the oceans or disintegrated into tiny particles known as microplastics that pollute the air and the ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Artificial photosynthesis technology was developed with the addition of the biocatalyst L-alanine dehydrogenase, which combines ammonia with pyruvate to produce L-alanine, to the photoredox system ...
