Bioengineers Succeed in Producing Plastics Without the Use of Fossil Fuels
Image via Wikipedia
A team of pioneering South Korean scientists have succeeded in producing the polymers used for everyday plastics through bioengineering, rather than through the use of fossil fuel based chemicals. This groundbreaking research, which may now allow for the production of environmentally conscious plastics, is published in two papers in the journal Biotechnology and [...]
Semantic Web Promises A Smarter Electricity Grid
