Researchers From Cornell Make Durable Plastic That Can Be Recycled
Cornell A Breakthrough in Plastic Recycling: Cornell University’s Discovery Plastic pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental issues, particularly due to the durability of certain polymers that resist decomposition and recycling. Among these, crosslinked thermosets—used in products such as bowling balls, artificial hip joints, and car tires—stand out for their exceptional strength and resistance to degradation. Unlike traditional …


Revolutionary Nanotechnology Enhances Crop Yields in Arid Regions
In a groundbreaking study conducted at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), researchers have unveiled a remarkable advancement in agricultural technology designed for arid regions. The study focuses on the development of a novel nanoplastic and biodegradable mulch that serves the dual purpose of enhancing greenhouse efficiency through passive cooling and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This innovation is …
Bacteria technique can boost plant growth
Researchers have shown off a new technique for encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The technique opens the door to creating a wide range of crop applications that allow farmers to make use of these beneficial bacteria in conjunction with agrochemicals. “Many of the beneficial bacteria we know of are fairly fragile, making it difficult to incorporate them …
