Urban biomining can unlock valuable metals in post-consumer waste, aligning with EU targets for critical minerals, economic ...

New research now provides an answer by closely examining primordial microbes that inhabit present-day, oxygen-free ecosystems such as deep-sea hot springs. These ancient microbes illustrate a ...

Of this, ₹300 crore is for a biomining project that is to be carried out under six packages in the Kodungaiyur dumpyard and the remaining is to complete the ongoing biomining project at the ...

The findings are the latest to shine a light on the importance of the human infant microbiome—the constellation of bacteria and fungi living on and in us during our first few years. The research could ...

What we eat affects our gut microbes, and now researchers can follow both good and bad changes step by step. "There's a strong connection between the gut microbiota and human health. What we eat ...

Immune cells in the skin ‘cauterize’ open wounds and create ‘band-aids’ to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and foreign molecules from injury sites, finds a study 1 in mice.

Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible ...

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria -- including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax -- form spores for survival. Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest some plastics. And improvements in our ability to design proteins have ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens.

Biological science is changing the way we harness and manage renewable energy, according to a new study by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU). Co-author Professor Caitlin Byrt ...
