Refrigerated and frozen food is supposed to remain that way during transport to the market. Often, this doesn’t occur, increasing the risk of food poisoning. Now, scientists have developed nanoparticles that can tell whether and how long a food has been exposed to inappropriately high temperature.

Even deep sea creatures are eating plastic. Animals from six of the deepest places on Earth were found to contain man-made fibres and plastic in their stomachs, scientists have shown. The latest findings suggest there are no longer any plastic-free marine ecosystems.

Mobile bedside bioprinter may heal wounds: Scientists have created a mobile skin bioprinting system – the first of its kind – that allows bi-layered skin to be printed directly into a wound, and demonstrated proof-of-concept of the system by printing skin directly onto pre-clinical models.
