Despite our efforts to sort and recycle, less than 9% of plastic gets recycled in the U.S., and most ends up in landfill or the environment.
Biodegradable plastic bags and containers could help, but if they’re not properly sorted, they can contaminate otherwise recyclable #1 and #2 plastics. What’s worse, most biodegradable plastics take months to break down, and when they finally do, they form microplastics – tiny bits of plastic that can end up in oceans and animals’ bodies – including our own. ....

Berkeley Lab's Top 10 Science Stories of 2020

Berkeley Lab’s Top 10 Science Stories of 2020
It was a year dominated by COVID-19 research, along with some beetles, batteries, and a Nobel Prize
December 22, 2020
T
he coronavirus pandemic has taught us many valuable lessons this year, and perhaps foremost among them is the importance of science.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have always strived to find science-based solutions for society’s most pressing issues. This year our scientists, while continuing to focus on the immense challenges of energy, climate change, and understanding the mysteries of the universe, also stepped up to face an unprecedented health crisis, using their expertise in everything from nanoscience to machine learning to contribute new knowledge to COVID-19. ....
