Scientists have developed a system that uses carbon dioxide to produce biodegradable plastics, or bioplastics, that could replace the nondegradable plastics used today.

Scientists are racing to learn whether microorganisms send more laughing gas (nitrous oxide) — a greenhouse gas with 300 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide — into the atmosphere after wildfires.

Researchers have discovered molecular markers for changes to oils in fingerprints over a seven-day time period — information that could be used to estimate fingerprints’ ages more accurately.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a Zika vaccine technology that is highly effective and safe in preclinical mouse models.

Researchers have shown that nanoplastics can enter liver and lung cells and disrupt multiple metabolic processes, potentially harming the organ and causing adverse health outcomes.

Researchers have developed a simple, fraud-resistant technique to evaluate the recycled content of new plastic products.

Researchers have developed a new method, called isotope-resolved chemical mass balance, to identify dust participles using isotopic measurements and help understand the impact of dust plumes on air quality.

Rsearchers have unveiled a new lab technique they say represents a “paradigm shift” in how pharmaceutical laboratories test and produce new protein-based drugs, such as therapeutic monoclonal antibodies being developed to treat a variety of diseases, from cancers to infectious diseases.

Tick saliva has been found to inhibit the skin's defense function, thereby increasing the risk of diseases such as tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) or Lyme disease.

A new type of spectrometer has been developed that can sense atmospheric water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide simultaneously.
