Adding fluorine to drug molecules can be tricky, but is often worthwhile. Rachel Brazil talks to the chemists trying to tame ...

“The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong, so most microbes cannot use it as an energy source,” ...

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ are increasingly showing up in the environment, our food and drinking water, and throughout our ...

University of Minnesota researchers are studying how to remove Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), also ...

“The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong, so most microbes cannot use it as an energy source. The F11 bacterial strain developed the ability to chop away the fluorine and eat ...

Scientists have identified a form of bacteria that eats the toxic "forever chemicals" that leach into the water supply by way of manufacturing. Better yet, the bacteria also munch on the chemicals' ...

Bacteria could well be our allies in the fight against per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), these so-called forever ...
