Plastics have become an integral part of our modern lives, revolutionizing industries, enhancing convenience, and enabling technological advancements.
Plastic, once hailed as a miracle material, is now increasingly recognised for its potential to pose a significant threat to our environment and public health.
University of Birmingham scientists awarded £350,000 to develop research to create a potentially flavoured ‘lollipop’ which could help mouth cancer diagnosis.
Creating a successful circular economy for plastics will help the economy as well as the environment, and the UK Government has a pivotal role to play.
The public and politicians do not see eye to eye in prioritising plastic pollution, according to new research.
The investment will accelerate the spinout's R&D, with the goal of delivering improvements in diagnosis and tretment for cancer and other diseases.
Researchers have created a new way to detect ‘forever chemical’ pollution in water, via a luminescent sensor.
