A new bio-inspired filter developed at the University of Bonn uses the same gill-arch architecture as filter-feeding fish to remove more than 99 % of microplastic fibers from washing machine wastewater. Because it’s self-cleaning and clog-resistant, it could be cheaply built into future washing machines — a clear win for cleaner water and less plastic pollution.

Scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a method that converts food waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) meeting ASTM and FAA benchmarks without blending fossil fuels. The process, using hydrothermal liquefaction and catalysts, opens new paths in the circular bioeconomy and aviation decarbonisation.
