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 ...

We need extended producer responsibility policies that require automakers and appliance manufacturers to manage their ...

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 ...

A Japanese consortium is now testing a 100 kW fuel cell system in Tokyo. The system uses green hydrogen and waste plastic hydrogen to provide heat to an industrial building. The demonstration aims to ...

Dealing with plastic waste is a real headache. But with a little help, bacteria can turn plastic into a painkiller. The approach could help reduce plastic pollution and curb reliance on the fossil ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researches at Linköping University have created an artificial nerve cell from a single organic electrochemical transistor, while still reproducing as many as 17 neural properties. An artificial neuron ...
