This biological process reshapes how scientists understand global sulfur and iron cycles. By outpacing chemical reactions, these microbes could help stop the spread of oceanic dead zones and maintain ecological balance.

While existing literature has primarily focused on modeling and theorizing this growth pattern—particularly the early exponential phase—le… PLOS Sustainability and Transformation · 5 Nov 2025 Research & science Business sustainability practices in micro and small enterprises: A systematic review by Manuel E. Becerra-Bizarrón, Juan Rodrigo Gomez-Bernal Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are essential for economic and social development globally, as they represent a significant proportion of employment and production. Nonetheless, these enterprises confront substantial difficulties in incorporating sustainable practices, largely attributable to their limited financial resources and capac… PLOS Sustainability and Transformation · 5 Nov 2025 Research & science Consumer-Related Food Waste: Causes and Potential for Action - Wageningen University & Research Wageningen University & Research News · 4 Nov 2025 Research & science Like sculpting from within: New technique builds advanced materials out of basic plastics In a kind of addition-by-subtraction, chemists at the University of Florida have developed a technique to create highly porous materials from the ubiquitous building blocks of everyday plastics, and the end result could have applications in electronics, separations and battery manufacturing.

Experiments mimicking early Earth revealed how their concentrations controlled cyanobacterial growth, dictating when oxygen began to accumulate. As nickel declined and urea stabilized, photosynthetic life thrived, sparking the Great Oxidation Event. The findings could also… ScienceDaily — Hazardous Waste · 2 Nov 2025 Research & science Why publish with Springer? - Springer Nature Link Circular Economy and Sustainability (Springer) · 31 Oct 2025 Research & science Dynamic Biplane Radiographic Imaging and Motion Analysis for Musculoskeletal Biodynamics Research - Empa Empa News · 31 Oct 2025 Research & science Your pumpkin might be hiding a toxic secret Researchers in Japan have revealed how some gourds draw pollutants into their fruits. The secret lies in a protein that carries contaminants through the plant sap. By manipulating this protein’s structure, scientists hope to breed crops that resist contamination or serve as natural soil purifiers. This finding bridges food safety and environmental cleanup.
