A new study suggests that growing bush basil near bean plants could offer a cost-effective, natural (and tasty!) alternative ...

By adding citric acid and squid ink to a cellulose-based polymer, researchers created a variety of structurally colored ...

Lead contamination in municipal water sources is a consistent threat to public health. Ingesting even tiny amounts of lead can harm the human brain and nervous system — especially in young children.

Infamous for their environmental persistence and potential links to health conditions, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called forever chemicals, are being discovered in unexpected ...

Researchers in ACS’ Nano Letters gave tardigrades tiny “tattoos” to test a microfabrication technique to build microscopic, biocompatible devices.

Researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have generated electricity from rain-like droplets moving through a tube.

Iron and its alloys, such as steel and cast iron, dominate the modern world, and there’s growing demand for iron-derived products. Traditionally, blast furnaces transform iron ore into purified ...

Transparent wood, made by modifying wood’s natural structure, has been proposed as a sturdy, eco-friendly plastic alternative. But wood’s biodegradability is often sacrificed in the process.

Plastic is everywhere. And many products we use in everyday life can expose people to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. Now, chewing gum could be added to the list. In a ...

For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time — eons — without applying power. A special type of glass that ...
