What is the advantage of laying eggs that are expensive to produce and take a long time to hatch? Perhaps there is more to this paradox then we originally thought.
Machine learning scopes out previously “invisible” microplastics
A new approach combines 3D coherent imaging with machine learning to detect microscale microplastics in filtered water samples.
A Bioplastic Made From Fish Waste
A Sussex student invented a bioplastic sourced from the sea.
Evidence of Microplastics in Arctic Sea Ice
The once pristine Arctic Ocean has turned into a pool of plastic debris.
A Whale of a Solution to Climate Change
Could increasing the world’s whale population help sequester carbon dioxide to fight climate change?
The Hidden Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Human Nutrition
Atmospheric carbon dioxide is known to deplete the mineral content of plants, but how are carotenoid levels affected?
Professor Mike Timko: Waste Should Be Viewed as a Resource
Achieving zero waste won’t be easy. But, I know for sure we’ll never achieve it without deliberate effort.
Monitoring the Riverine Pulse
Improving our understanding of hydrologic and biogeochemical processes through nitrate evolution.
The Tandem Zinc Finger RNA Binding Domain of Members of the Tristetraprolin (TTP) Protein Family
Proteins with similar domain structures and activities have been found throughout eukaryotes, demonstrating that this protein family arose from an ancient ancestor.
Cold Plasma To Clean Up Our Water
A team of Canadian researchers has shown that direct contact between an AP “cold” oxidizing plasma source and water that contains very high concentrations of cyanobacteria and green algae, along with associated BMAA toxin, could be quite rapidly (in minutes) decontaminated with modest energy input.
