Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

The quantitative yield of agricultural products has increased significantly over the past 80 years, with nitrogen fertilizers representing a significant contributing factor. The global trade of ...

You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...

In biocementation, the overall degree of cementation achieved is constrained by the successful completion of four individual, potentially rate-limiting steps: (i) adsorption of the biocatalyst urease ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...
