Embedded enzymes help plastics break down faster in the deep sea
Scientists have developed a way for certain types of compostable plastic to break down much faster in marine environments, from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea. The breakthrough comes from tiny enzymes embedded in the…

New biodiversity framework estimates what landscapes could support, not just what lives thereA flower strip is established along the edge of a field. A wetland is restored. More seminatural habitats are created. The expectation is simple: give nature more space, and biodiversity will increase. But reality is often not so…GenoBridge streamlines plant trait prediction with a simplified genomic analysis pipelineThe rapid increase in the availability of genomic data has transformed plant breeding by enabling the prediction of complex traits directly from DNA markers.
