A new study found that an algae-based plastic breaks down 97% in compost and water within seven months, even when crushed into tiny particles. Scientists hope this eco-friendly plastic will replace harmful petroleum-based ones. There’s been a lot of talk and research about microplastics, small bits of plastic that are hard to break down. Researchers […]

Researchers in the US purport to have condensed certain health benefits of exercise into an ingestible pill. Although still in its infancy, this innovative medication has shown promising results in preliminary tests on rodents, harnessing a natural metabolic pathway typically activated by physical activity. When administered daily to mice, the drug, known as SLU-PP-332, appears
