Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) are increasingly recognized as a persistent environmental contaminant of concern, yet polyisobutylene (PIB), an industrially significant polymer used as industrial sealants, adhesives, cable insulation, lubricant additives, and chewing gum bases, remains poorly studied relative to more commonly studied plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS),…
A synthetic biology technology has been developed that converts easily degraded messenger RNA (mRNA) into a ring-shaped form inside microbial cells, increasing protein production.
Segregation is a multidimensional phenomenon deeply intertwined with historical, social and ecological contexts. Yet this more integrated perspective has received limited attention in the Global…
