Burying wood while upcycling plastics? Or should we "upcycle" wood to make plastics and then bury plastic wastes? 🤔
Inspired by an ancient buried log, researchers present in Science a novel method to remove and store atmospheric carbon for hundreds of years or more. The approach could provide a cost-effective solution to mitigate #ClimateChange. 📄: https://t.co/WJeZ9UFBIY

I recently had the honor of presenting my research on drinking water disinfection and persistent biomolecules at the Montana Biofilm Meeting as a *Young Investigator Awardee*. @BiofilmFirst Thank you @SCELSE_SG and @embb_ntu for the unwavering support!
🎉Congrats to SCELSE research fellow Dr. Sakcham Bairoliya for winning the 2024 Young Investigator Award from Montana State University's @BiofilmFirst! 🌟 His groundbreaking work on biofilm-disinfectant interactions in drinking water systems is enhancing water quality & safety.

Thanks for featuring our work. Here is the link to the original paper https://t.co/4bOYAeXsLy
@liuyinan6 @SakchamB17 @SCELSE_SG
Meet the superworms 🪱: A team of #NTUsg scientists has created an artificial 'worm gut' to break down plastics, offering hope for a nature-inspired method to tackle the global plastic pollution problem. The researchers will now study how the bacteria in the superworm's gut break

I’m so glad to see the outputs of this work after 2 years. I’m very proud to be part of this @SeapMicro project! Got to thank @embb_ntu for the mentorship and guidance, and @SakchamB17 and Zin for the help along the way!
#NTUsg scientists have found potential #plasticeating bacteria and potentially harmful microorganisms in the #plastisphere. The findings offer insights that may aid in tackling threats to the #ocean #ecosystem and in arriving at a possible #plasticpollution solution. @SCELSE_SG

I’m very happy to share my first research chapter for my PhD’s outcome! In this work, we surveyed coastal habitats in the tropical waters of Singapore. While plastisphere is not polymer specific, it is highly influenced by the sediment. https://t.co/FWvOoL2xUW

First publication from my postdoc!Intertidal plastispheres are habitat specific (beaches vs mangroves vs seagrasses), may enrich potential pathogens, and contribute to biogeochemical cycles! Congrats @jonaskohh @embb_ntu @MeilinNeo @SCELSE_SG!

NTU scientists tap metal-eating microbes to recycle lithium-ion batteries

Energy is saved because the microbes require only 40 deg C for the recycling process. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Very interesting: "*Beethoven had a predisposition for liver disease and became infected with hepatitis B. *We also discovered an extra-pair-paternity event in Beethoven’s paternal line."
