  1. Breadcrumbs offer fossil fuel–free production of everyday goodsWho knew that breadcrumbs could be the unsung heroes of sustainable chemistry? A new study shows they can replace fossil fuels in hydrogenation, making everything from food to plastics a bit greener. — Phys.org
  2. Peatland lakes in Congo Basin release carbon that is thousands of years oldSurprise! Those serene peatland lakes in the Congo Basin are belching out ancient carbon instead of keeping it safe. This revelation could have major implications for climate models and our understanding of carbon storage. — Phys.org
  3. AI tools can design genomes. Will they upend how life evolves?Buckle up, biology! AI is stepping into the lab to generate new life forms from scratch, potentially rewriting the rules of evolution as we know it. Who needs natural selection when you have artificial intelligence? — Nature
  4. This AI can improve your peer review — and make it more politeFinally, an AI that can take the sting out of peer reviews! This new tool promises to make feedback more constructive and less toxic—because who says academia can't be nice? — Nature
  5. Study reveals hidden climate impact of digital industriesThink digital tech is eco-friendly? Think again! A new study reveals that the digital industries are responsible for about 4.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions—surprise! — Phys.org
  6. Turning high-emissions waste into fertilizer: Catalyst boosts urea productionGoodbye, fossil fuel fertilizers! Engineers have developed a catalyst that transforms high-emissions waste into urea, giving agriculture a greener thumb. — Phys.org
  7. Scientists deliver new molecule for getting DNA into cellsA new delivery system for DNA means better vaccines and treatments are on the horizon. Researchers have created a neutral molecule that safely gets DNA into cells, avoiding the inflammation of traditional methods. — Phys.org
