😍🥰😍SUSTAINABLE LIGHT SOURCE ORGANICALLY Scientists in Switzerland at Empa and ETH Zurich have developed sustainable, glow-in-the-dark wood by infusing balsa wood with the bioluminescent fungus Desarmillaria tabescens (ringless honey fungus). This wood-fungi biohybrid emits a natural green light for up to 10 hours without electricity, acting as a potential eco-friendly lighting solution for parks and homes.https://www.jpost.com/science/science-around-the-world/article-831912 Read more [...]

🥹😮😲MICROPLASTICS IN CLOUDS AFFECT WEATHER Scientists from Waseda University and other institutions have confirmed the presence of airborne microplastics (AMPs) within cloud water at high altitudes, including Mt. Fuji and Mt. Oyama. These particles, ranging from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers, are acting as cloud condensation nuclei, potentially influencing cloud formation, accelerating ice crystal creation, and affecting global climatepatternsScientists have discovered that microplastics Read more [...]
