Now, there is no definitive way to prevent microplastic contamination in oceans. But to decrease the contribution of microplastics, here are few materials which we can avoid in our day-to-day lives.

In the study, the scientists have identified and isolated two different types of bacteria living in water bodies and soil respectively, which are highly efficient in biodegrading Chloropyrifos into simpler and non-toxic chemicals.

The heat is literally used to “cook” a tumour as its cells burn. This procedure has some serious side-effects to the body. But the new method can reduce that considerably well.

In this research, the researchers began by downloading more than 2,500 recipes from an online cooking database.

The researchers used chitosan obtained from seafood waste source, and two other easily available sustainable chemicals

Conventional methods like disposal in landfills and incineration are themselves a large sources of environmental pollution.

A group of researchers from Washington University have come up with a new fertiliser that is produced by a special kind of bacterium.

By studying the anatomy of the mosquito namely proboscis--the elongated sucking mouthpart--scientists have now identified how mosquitoes jab their mouth onto their victims with considerably no pain.

Even though there has been artificial photosynthesis before, there has not been such a development in efficiency of the procedure.

The technology can process plastic into fuel that can substitute diesel used in generators, furnaces and engines.
