Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

As the use of AI spreads through every industry and becomes more of a part of our lives every day, researchers are also ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that the enzyme biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) plays a direct protective role against oxidative stress in neurons, independent of its role producing the ...

A newly discovered enzyme motif reveals how ocean microbes are evolving to digest plastic, potentially aiding future cleanup ...
