Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) have proposed a new cost-effective strategy for synthesizing hybrid cathodes to achieve high-performance seawater electrolysis for hydrogen generation.

Researchers have developed a new way to use the abundant agro-waste products in non-food feedstocks. Using consolidated bio-saccharification (CBS), they were able to take lignocellulose and obtain lactic acid through a fermentation process.

When intermittent fasting became all the rage among Hollywood celebrities, skeptics balked at the idea of skipping meals. But new research suggests the celebs might not have been that far off.

Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new activation strategy that allows magnesium-based batteries to work without the use of corrosive additives.

About 47 million homes use natural gas or propane-burning cooktops and ovens. Researchers found that cooking with gas stoves can raise indoor levels of the carcinogen benzene above those found in secondhand smoke.

MIT engineers have developed a metal-free, Jell-O-like hydrogel material that is as soft and tough as biological tissue and can conduct electricity similarly to conventional metals. The material can also be made into a printable ink.

Research has revealed the properties of Providencia spp., a type of food poisoning bacteria, and paves way for establishment of preventive methods.

Scientists have developed a method to analyze minute debris in small samples and found that contact lenses exposed to sunlight over time can shed tiny fragments of plastic, though the health impact is unclear.

Scientists have discovered that when a tropical sea sponge is exposed to warmer temperatures, it loses an important microbe, which could explain why the sponge tissue dies.

For the first time, researchers have characterized the function of AtMC3, a protein involved in drought tolerance in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
