31. Seagrasses provide a novel ecosystem service by trapping marine plastics

        In this article, the authors try to answer the question of where is the missing plastic in the ocean. Studies so far show that the majority of this plastic is in the sea bottom, but here they add another place where the wastes of our throw-away society end: the seagrass. Take a listen to this interesting explanation and the importance of the seaweed in the oceanic ecosystems.

22. Cellulose-Conducting Polymer Aerogels for Efficient Solar Steam Generation

Image
A revolutionary invention is presented in this article which provides a way to reduce the lack of water . The authors present an aerogel made of cellulose and PEDOT:PSS capable of capturing water and evaporating it faster than previous methods in order to make it pure and ready for human consumption by using solar light .

45. Persistence of plastic debris and its colonization by bacterial communities after two decades on the abyssal seafloor

Image
          The presence of plastics in the oceans is currently a hot topic in the plastic research matter. A lot of suggestive analysis, revolutionary studies and new approaches to the problem have taken off in the last years and the article we share today follows that way. There are plastics also in the seafloor where bacteria communities grow; that’s the focus of the paper which hopefully will please you.
