Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative technology that can convert typically unrecyclable mixed plastic waste into useful chemicals. Using an efficient organocatalyst, the process requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to conventional methods.

Solvay’s new microbiology lab is focussed on the energy sector in the U.K. and is expected to advance innovation, enhance business growth and encourage partnerships with customers in the North Sea and other regions.

Researchers have revealed that adventurers are not only leaving their footprints behind on Mount Everest but they are also leaving behind a frozen legacy of hardy microbes which can withstand harsh conditions at high elevations and lie dormant in the soil for decades or even centuries.

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a stretchable ultrasonic array capable of serial, non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging of tissues as deep as four centimeters below the surface of human skin, at a spatial resolution of 0.5 millimeters. This new method provides a non-invasive, longer-term alternative to current methods, with improved penetration depth.

Aquaculture, or the farming of aquatic plants and animals, contributes to biodiversity and habitat loss in freshwater and marine ecosystems globally, but when used wisely, it can also be part of the solution, new research shows.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced many diagnostic technologies and innovative solutions which prove beneficial for researchers developing new diagnostics. The advanced tools and technologies offer improved flexibility and productivity.

Researchers from UC Davis have developed a groundbreaking method to predict the survival chances of forests facing future droughts. By linking precipitation levels to tree growth, the new tool can aid forest management and climate mitigation strategies.

Parasites that cause severe diarrhoea are likely to become more virulent because of the speed at which they are exchanging their DNA and evolving — according to new research from the University of East Anglia.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have found out that after humans, male bottlenose dolphins form the largest multi-level alliance network. The study also reveals that cooperative relationships between groups helps males to spend more time with females, thus increasing reproductive success.

EKF Diagnostics has introduced a new sample collection kit which helps to conveniently and safely collect, transport and handle pathogenic samples, including Covid-19 and influenza.
