Scientists reveal treatment to remove micro-pollutants from water

Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a procedure involving high-intensity pulses of light that can successfully remove carbon micro-pollutants from water. The photodegradation process This process was already suspected to be feasible, although it was...

Mountain lakes and their reaction to climate change

Researchers have investigated the changes in a lake in the northern Tibetan highlands since the end of the last ice age to better understand mountain lake’s reactions to climate change. Lakes in alpine locations react sensitively to climate change. Researchers...

Sea anemone’s survival rates drop drastically amid current marsh pollution

New research conducted by the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), reveals that sea anemone Nematostella’s growth, development, and feeding ability are drastically impacted by present levels of common pollutants found in one of its native habitats, the US East Coast. The...

Bioenergy sorghum root tackles issues with carbon dioxide and carbon

A study conducted at Texas A&M University shows that the annual crop can sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carbon and carbon dioxide The Earth’s atmosphere is experiencing an increased amount of carbon dioxide and a shortage of carbon in the soil. However,...

Bleached coral reefs continue to supply nutritious food for fisheries

A study led by Lancaster University finds that despite damage, bleached coral reefs are still supporting the ecosystems of diverse small-scale fisheries; the fish being caught are rich in micronutrients vital to the health of millions of people in...

A sustainable alternative to egg white protein production

Scientists discover a use for biotechnology in order to provide an alternative to egg white protein production that is more environmentally sustainable. Research by the Future Sustainable Food Systems research group at the University of Helsinki, together with VTT Technical...

Physiological role of planteose is promising for parasitic weed control

Scientists have uncovered the distribution and physiological role of planteose enzymatic hydrolysis of planteose: α-galactosidase (AGAL), which is promising regarding the molecular target for root parasitic weed control. Parasitic weed control Witchweed (or Striga) and broomrapes (or Orobanche and Phelipanche) are...

Machines developed that can separate 12 different types of plastic

Scientists have created technology to tell the difference between 12 different types of plastic and to separate them according to chemical composition. Different types of plastic In contrast to common perceptions, plastic is not just one material. Rather, it is a...
