Plants naturally produce starch to store excess glucose, and research is now exploring if this biological process can be replicated or adapted for modern power systems. Yes, modified starch can be used for energy storage as a key component in emerging green electrochemical devices like batteries and supercapacitors. Scientists are developing novel applications for this abundant biopolymer to create more sustainable and biodegradable energy storage solutions for the future.

According to a 2025 article, the majority of supplements on the market are artificially produced, despite consumer demand for natural products. This raises the question: how are vitamins extracted from food to meet this growing interest in natural options? The process is a blend of traditional techniques and modern innovations in food science.

Over 90% of all plant matter is composed of cellulose, a primary structural component that provides rigidity and strength to cell walls. While raw cellulose does not function as a conventional adhesive, it can be chemically modified into various high-performance adhesives, and specialized forms like nanocellulose can exhibit inherent bonding properties.

An estimated 95% of the world's transport relies on oil products, making it central to modern life. The question isn't just if we can survive without oil, but how a transition away from this ubiquitous resource would transform our economy, technology, and daily existence.
