The town of Longmeadow is weighing how it wants to restore the stadium at the high school after studies found that the ...

Alarming' microplastic pollution in Europe's great rivers "Alarming" levels of microplastic have been found in major rivers across Europe according to scientists in 14 studies published simultaneously ...

Another part of the fiber, the cellulose, can be made into components to replace, for example, plastic. Using residual products from the production of sugar from sugar beets will help fulfill one of ...

First, many products manufactured from fossil fuels (energy, other fuels and chemicals) could be produced by ‘feeding’ microbes with waste plastics, carbon dioxide, methane or organic matter ...

“The Cellulose Fibres Conference (CFC) has provided a unique and focused platform to the entire value chain of cellulosic fibers for knowledge sharing and making business connections. With global ...

and these synthetic fabrics are a major source of microplastic contamination. "As we wear clothing that's increasingly plastic, those fibres shed, go down the drain, [and] wind up in the local ...

Fiber supplements can help meet daily fiber intake goals and assist with weight loss, constipation, and blood glucose control. To get the most benefit, you should take them consistently, at a ...

The researchers believe the receptor proteins function to link large structural proteins during fiber formation ... Traditional plastics and synthetic fibers are typically made using petroleum ...

In addition, graphene oxide with a size-controlled to around 100 nanometers (nm) was added, and then, following the same process as the conventional synthetic fiber manufacturing method ...

‘The long term of our research is to be able to predict what the mechanical properties of these fibres will be using computational methods,’ says Graham. This multiscale approach is crucial in ...

The diver had found the fibre optic cable lying on the seabed of the North Sea. He swam closer, until it was near enough to touch. He reached out his hand. But someone could tell he was lurking there.
