A small shiny insect species has a unique dietary craving that could help solve the world's plastic pollution problem.

Figure 4.1: An elastic-perfectly plastic material. (a) Uniaxial stress-strain relation; (b) geometric representation of yield surface and criterion of loading and unloading. Perfectly plastic ...

In a recent study, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute were able to gene-hack a strain of bacteria to turn wasteful polyethylene plastic into a spider silk-like material as strong as ...

Currently, the world is suffering from environmental problems caused by plastic waste ... has succeeded in developing a ...

Figure 6.1: Uniaxial stress-strain curve, pre- and postfailure regime. For moderate strains, mild steel behaves approximately like a perfectly plastic material. In view of the importance of mild steel ...

Biohm is now working to develop the strain to make it an even more efficient digester that could potentially help get rid of plastic waste. It's no secret that single-use plastic waste is a vast ...
