Scientists have traced the interstellar journey of phosphorus — a key ingredient in the recipe for life. The paper details how phosphorus-bearing molecules formed in star-forming regions, and how it may have been delivered to Earth onboard rocky comets during our planet’s infancy.

New “bio-based hybrid foam” can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere more sustainably and cost-effectively, suggests new study, made by combining gelatin and cellulose with zeolites, minerals known for their absorbent properties. Researchers claim this new material is cheap and absorbs CO2 extremely well.

After 2008, bisphenol F and S (BPF, BPS) were used to replace bisphenol A (BPA) in many plastics because BPA was shown to be an endocrine disruptor. Now, urine levels of BPF and BPS are significantly associated with a higher risk of obesity in kids aged 6-19.
