New research suggests some biodegradable electronic materials persist in soil for years, breaking down into microplastics ...

For more than two years, the UN member states have been trying to agree on a plastics treaty that includes globally binding measures against plastic pollution. In August, negotiations to reach an ...

Being biodegradable could help reduce the e-waste problem, and the large conductive channels could let it handle a higher current than other organic transistors. It could also be integrated into ...

In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient artificial synapse that holds great promise for sustainable neuromorphic ...

Binghamton PhD student Tianzheng Liu, left, and Department of Biomedical Engineering Professor Sha Jin have developed a method to turn food waste into biodegradable plastic. According to the U.S.

In a landfill, a plastic bottle can take more than a thousand years to break down. But a new process can transform polyethylene plastic in days, using bacteria to eat the waste and then turn it into a ...

Abstract Biodegradable artificial synapses hold great promise for sustainable neuromorphic electronics, yet combining long-term memory, ultralow ...
