You just came back from an invigorating, stress-busting spring hike. Or perhaps you're feeling accomplished because you got some early-season yard work done. And then you notice a tick on your clothing and remember you forgot to apply bug spray. Your mood plummets as you remember ticks spread Lyme disease. Lyme disease gained notoriety when cases spiked in 2022 and 2023, over doubling between 2017 and 2023, according to the CDC. Reported cases went from about 42,700 to about 89,500 annually. Th

Plastics are great, except when it comes to making or disposing of them. Production generally requires the use of chemicals derived from fossil fuels, and so helps to continue our reliance on them. And the final products are generally not biodegradable, so they tend to stick around despite breaking down into ever smaller fragments. Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest some plastics. And improvements in our

By changing the composition of these materials’ building blocks, researchers can optimize properties such as hydrophobicity (ability to repel water), mechanical strength, and pH sensitivity. One property the team targeted, with an eye to using the polymer to add nutrients to food, was the ability to dissolve when exposed to acidic environments such as the stomach. The researchers showed that they could use particles of the polymer to encapsulate vitamins A, D, E, and C, as well as zinc and iron
