Researchers in Germany have developed a method to produce protein and vitamin B9 using yeast fed with hydrogen, CO2, and acetate. This process, driven by renewable energy, offers a sustainable alternative to traditional agriculture.

Researchers have manipulated a metabolic pathway in E.coli to create a strain that can produce an aromatic polyester.

One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice. But what if in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself?

Chatbots could provide an alternative to traditional genetic counseling in helping patients to decide whether to pursue genetic testing.

Oil and gas operations across the United States are emitting more than 6 million tons of methane per year.

A study reveals that Maasai cattle grazing has a minimal impact on the Maasai Mara National Reserve's ecology. The grazing practices of the Maasai, when compared to wild herbivores, had negligible effects on soil, vegetation and wildlife.

Researchers have discovered that microwave heating of Na-ZSM-5 zeolite can efficiently convert waste cooking oil into olefins, a crucial chemical precursor. This method significantly outperforms conventional heating.

Molecular simulations have proffered a new method for processing nanocellulose that reduces energy needs by 21%.

Research shows that conserving just 0.7% of the world’s land could protect a third of threatened tetrapod species. The study identifies 25 crucial “EDGE Zones” where evolutionary distinct and globally endangered species are concentrated.

This article will detail the quantitative and qualitative benefits of adopting digital twin technology throughout the different steps of battery production.
