…the plant protein to form a spider-like web that holds the water around the plant protein. This gives the much-needed hydration and juicy feel in the mouth. Plant-based protein microgels…
The proposed Offshore Floating Nuclear Plant structure is about 45 meters in diameter, and the plant will generate 300 megawatts of electricity. An alternative design for a 1,100 MW plant…
…So if your resolution is related to health, you may want to reconsider switching to a plant-based diet if it involves plant-based meat. The Impossible Burger, for example, is an…
Plant ecologist Richard T. Corlett argues that preventing all future land plant extinctions is achievable through training more plant experts, building an online “metaherbarium,” and creating “microreserves.” As 21-48% of…

Preventing the spread of plant pandemics. Plant diseases don’t stop at national borders and miles of oceans don’t prevent their spread, either. That’s why plant disease surveillance, improved detection systems,…
Using specialized nanoparticles embedded in plant leaves, MIT engineers have created a novel light-emitting plant that can be charged by an LED. In this image, the green parts are the…

40% of conventional meat products were classified as “less healthy” compared to just 14% of plant-based alternatives according to recent research. New benefits of plant-based meats discovered. According to the…
…“plant steaks” and “plant cold cuts” may rival real meats in certain aspects, they fall short in areas such as amino acid content and protein digestibility. Meat-free burgers or ground…
