Two new studies published on 27 January in Nature Biomedical Engineering have demonstrated the incredible potential of rapidly emerging ‘organ-on-chip’ (organ chip) technologies (1, 2). The so-called ‘Interrogator’ system links
One woman’s trash is another man’s gold, or so the old saying goes. Now, scientists have found a way to turn any carbon-based trash — from food scraps to plastics

Timber buildings could store anywhere between 10 million tonnes of carbon per year to 700 million tonnes, according to a new paper published on 27 January in Nature Sustainability. With
The human microbiome is composed of thousands of different species of bacteria and fungi that seem to influence virtually every function in the human body from digestion and metabolism to
For the first time, scientists have quantified the contribution of so-called ozone-depleting substances, like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), to extreme Arctic warming. The important, yet oft-forgotten, group of greenhouse gases were responsible
