In a study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, a team of scientists led by Peifu Kong has successfully prepared tea tree oil-beta-cyclodextrin (TTO-β-CD) microcapsules with an unprecedented high encapsulation ...
More effective treatments for snakebites that afflict millions of people worldwide every year are emerging from EU research.
The social and environmental impact of the Belo Monte dam and hydroelectric power plant in Pará state, Brazil, has been called a "disaster" by researchers, environmentalists and several media outlets. The damage has again ...
