Scientists design a clay that can prevent fruits and vegetables from rotting too quickly
Avocados from Chile, bananas from Costa Rica, tomatoes from southern Spain, mangoes from Brazil. A large share of the fruit and vegetables we eat have traveled across the globe before they reach store shelves here at home. But many millions of tons are lost every year before they get that far.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology.

Every link goes to the original publisher so you can read the full study or press release yourself.
