An important next step in developing nature-based solutions to the global plastics crisis

Plastic accumulation in foods may be underestimated and may also carry potentially harmful bacteria up the food chain

For the first time: techniques that can correct false recollections without damaging true memories

Could robotic animals be a better alternative to real-life therapy dogs?

Another leap towards beating plastic waste

One of the world’s most abundant natural resources could replace manmade chemicals in soaps other household products

A scientist has discovered a way of using one of the world’s most abundant natural resources as a replacement for manmade chemicals in soaps and thousands of other household products. An innovative research project, published this month and led by the University of Portsmouth, has demonstrated that bails of rice straw could create a ‘biosurfacant’,

Can forensics save the world’s most-trafficked mammal?

A pioneering new project trials fingerprinting techniques to battle pangolin poaching. Forensic fingerprinting techniques will now be used in the battle against illegal wildlife trade as new methods of lifting fingermarks from trafficked animals, are announced today. Researchers at the University of Portsmouth and international conservation charity ZSL (Zoological Society of London), with support from

Converting plant waste into sustainable and high-value products such as nylon, plastics, chemicals, and fuels

A new family of enzymes has been discovered which paves the way to convert plant waste into sustainable and high-value products such as nylon, plastics, chemicals, and fuels. The discovery was led by members of the same UK-US enzyme engineering team which, in April, improved a plastic-digesting enzyme, a potential breakthrough for the recycling of plastic

Could a plastic-eating enzyme help clean up the planet?

Scientists have engineered an enzyme which can digest some of our most commonly polluting plastics, providing a potential solution to one of the world’s biggest environmental problems. The discovery could result in a recycling solution for millions of tonnes of plastic bottles, made of polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which currently persists for hundreds of years

Can an artificial coral reef made from plastic protect marine biodiversity?

Climate change from rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) is having two major effects in our seas – global warming and ocean acidification – and the combination of these threats is affecting marine life from single organisms to species communities. Researchers from the University of Portsmouth are helping to build an artificial reef that could

Scientists find strongest natural material

Limpet teeth might be the strongest natural material known to man, a new study has found. Researchers from the University of Portsmouth have discovered that limpets – small aquatic snail-like creatures with conical shells – have teeth with biological structures so strong they could be copied to make cars, boats and planes of the future.
