Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe

Low Temperature Graphene Growth Opens a Route to Sustainable Resource Recycling

Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult.
