Wetlands can be recovered with the right plants, and that’s good news for the planet
Scientists are reviving lost wetlands using paludiculture, blending ecology and economy to combat climate change and restore biodiversity.
James Webb Telescope uncovers possible water on Psyche’s surface
Data gathered about the M-class asteroid challenges earlier assumptions that it is unaltered planetary core.
An organ-on-chip simulates the effects of cosmic radiation on astronauts
Future astronauts may be protected from galactic cosmic rays thanks to a novel organ-on-chip system containing interconnected human tissue.
These plant-based robots will help with reforestation
A biohybrid robot made from oats moves in response to humidity and is being tested as a biodegradable vector for reforestation efforts.
Breakthrough in bacterial identification allows scientists to ID 35 new strains
The new protocol identified microbes that standard techniques alone couldn’t, uncovering previously unknown bacterial strains in the process.
Nanobelts provide clean energy and sustainable electronics for a future Martian colony
Using a mineral found naturally on Mars, energy and electronics could be easily and sustainably produced on site.
Algae-based microrobots clean up plastic waste
Swarms of iron-clad algae have been built to sweep through bodies of water to collect elusive bits of micro- and nanoplastics.
