A Rutgers scientist has designed a biodegradable, plant-based covering that can be sprayed on foods to protect them from pathogenic and spoilage microbes as well as transportation harm, intending to develop an economically friendly substitute for plastic food wrap and containers.
Scientists are developing bionic robo-fish to clean microplastics from the waters. Tiny self-propelled robo-fish can swim around, grab on to free-floating microplastics, and repair themselves if they are harmed.
