Scientists have developed a new cooling technology that has the potential to improve crop yields as well as introduce new crops to arid regions like Saudi Arabia at affordable costs.

Researchers have revealed that brewing tea can remove toxic heavy metals like lead from drinking water. They also mentioned that finely ground black tea leaves performed the best at removing toxic heavy metals.

MIT researchers have developed biodegradable particles that could replace harmful plastic microbeads in beauty products and beyond. These innovative materials break down into harmless sugars and amino acids, offering safer alternatives for cleansers and cosmetics.

Plastics contribute not only to environmental pollution but also to climate change and biodiversity loss, yet scientific focus on these broader impacts remains limited. A new UFZ study reveals significant research gaps and calls for a comprehensive global approach to regulating plastics and their chemicals, aligning with climate and biodiversity goals.

A new study shows that bio-based materials may pose a higher health risk to some of the planet's most crucial species than the conventional plastics they aim to replace. The research has led scientists to suggest that materials being advocated as alternatives to plastic should be tested thoroughly before they are used extensively in a range of products.

Science has provided more than sufficient evidence to inform a collective and global approach to tackle the continued spread of plastic pollution, according to a new report.

Researchers have found that the Comamonas bacterium from Comamonadacae which comes from a common family of environmental bacteria has the capacity to break down plastic for food. This finding could help to develop bioengineering solutions to get rid of plastic waste present in the environment.

There have been a high number of olive oil fraud and mislabeling in Europe this year and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority has collaborated with Kaust to create a new method that can identify and quantify the adulterants in olive oil.

University of Sydney researchers are proposing a new way to curb industrial emissions, by tapping into the “atomic intelligence” of liquid metals to deliver greener and more sustainable chemical reactions.

Shimadzu has introduced a new Airsight FTIR Raman microscope which is claimed to be the world's only microscope capable of performing both FTIR and Raman spectroscopy.
