Scientists turned food waste into natural plastic films using bacteria that make biodegradable packaging material.

Researchers have transformed food waste sugars into natural plastic films that could one day replace petroleum-based ...

A common bacterium was genetically engineered to eat a plastic-derived molecule and then digest it to produce the everyday ...

Microplastics present in household dust and water damage mitochondria, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of disease.

Tiny plastic fragments floating through our environment may be doing more than polluting oceans, they could also be quietly undermining your bones. Wired reports that researchers are now warning that ...

European researchers claim to have successfully demonstrated the embedment of organic PV (OPV) modules into structural plastic parts via large-scale industrial injection molding (IM). IM is a ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

A technique lets seeds grow freely and cuts down on the pileup of leftover plastic cell packs. Ron DiGravio of Johnny’s Selected Seeds came to soil blocking when he began farming about 15 years ago, ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and organic electronics. The study lays the foundation for future treatment of neurological and other diseases with ...

A computer rendering of a parvalbumin-positive neuron, which researchers were able to produce in large quantities for the first time in in-vitro models. Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible ...
