Revolutionary Study Shows Plants That Remove Microplastics Work Better Than Current Technology | Happy Eco News
Plants that remove microplastics from water could revolutionize treatment methods. Scientists discovered okra and fenugreek extracts capture up to 90% of plastic particles, outperforming synthetic chemicals. These natural, biodegradable alternatives cost less than industrial polymers while avoiding toxic additives, offering safer water treatment for communities worldwide.

Mathematical models reveal a 'hidden order' in dryland vegetation worldwide
If you've ever traveled through drylands, you may have noticed striking vegetation patterns—stripes, spots, or rings—scattered across otherwise barren landscapes. From "tiger bush" in West Africa to the enigmatic "fairy circles" of Namibia, these patterns have long inspired wonder and scientific curiosity.
