Researchers in ACS Central Science report how one of the most abundant gut bacteria responds to tetracyclines, a class of ...

Researchers have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated adhesive to create an electrically conductive patch that bonds to ...

Researchers have shown that crickets can and will consume polyethylene microplastics if their mouth is larger than the plastic particle.

Researchers have developed a simple, effective electronic device that can determine how fresh a fish is in less than two minutes.

Everywhere scientists look for microplastics, they’ve found them — food, water, air and some parts of the human body. But examinations of our innermost organs that aren’t directly exposed to the ...
