A research team reveals that the way plant residues transform into humic substances can profoundly reshape soil microbial ...

At the end of the year, the number of dinners and drinks is increasing. As it is easy to drink more than usual, the risk of ...

A research team has managed to “bottle” a highly reactive carbene in water, overturning a major assumption in chemistry.

Researchers have developed a unique enzyme that can decompose PET material. PET is a very common 3D print material, often with the somewhat easier-to-print PETG variant. It has higher thermal ...

If self-cannibalizing furniture sounds far-fetched, think again: A new ingredient in plastic is making that a reality. After years of experimenting with sustainable alternatives to conventional ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Engineered enzymes are poised to have transformative impacts across applications in energy, materials, biotechnology, and medicine. Recently, machine learning has emerged as a useful tool for enzyme ...

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition increases forest carbon sequestration across broad parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Slower organic matter decomposition and greater soil carbon accumulation could ...

Increases in nitrogen (N) availability reduce decay rates of highly lignified plant litter. Although microbial responses to N addition are well documented, the chemical mechanisms that may give rise ...
