Antibiotic residues in farmland soils are an emerging global concern, with potential risks for ecosystems, food safety, and human health. Now, researchers in China report a promising new approach to tackling one of the most common culprits—oxytetracycline (OTC)—by combining biochar with carbohydrate-based soil amendments. Their study shows that this simple yet effective strategy not only accelerates the degradation of OTC in soil but also reduces its transfer into lettuce, a widely consumed leafy vegetable.

For the first time, researchers report that Arctic algae can hustle along in -15 C – the lowest-temperature movement ever recorded in complex, living cells. This discovery raises new questions about how algal communities regulate the overall health of the Arctic environment.
