Glass fertiliser beads offer a sustainable solution to agricultural nutrient delivery. Researchers have developed these beads for controlled release, minimising environmental harm while sustaining plant growth. This innovation promises efficient, eco-friendly fertilisation.
Biocompatibility is a key challenge for medical implants. Researchers have engineered apatite nanoparticles with enhanced cell adhesion via pH-controlled synthesis. This breakthrough promises more effective implant coatings, improving integration and reducing inflammation.
Scientists have revealed how the periderm, armoured roots of plants, not only shields them from environmental stress but also plays a crucial role in capturing and storing carbon, offering a natural solution to climate change.
Mark Elliott, President of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, champions the critical role of environmental health in the next stage of the Border Target Operating Model.
According to sociologist Robert Merton (1942), the creation of universal and objective knowledge is dependent on the detachment of scientists from their work because passion and preconceived ideas are obstacles to objectivity and scientific progress.
Researchers from Imperial College London have suggested an innovative approach to tackling microplastic pollution. Their latest study recommends using specially designed microbes and enzymes to remove microplastics from wastewater and sewage before it is processed into fertilizer.
Scientists have developed new types of fibers that could revolutionize medical treatments. Made from a biodegradable polymer PLA (plastic) and reinforced with special nanoparticles, these fibers show great promise for use in medical implants, improved healing, reduced infection risk, and a wider range of medical applications.
