32、f spending time alonea sign weve failed at climbing that social ladder. And if youre an extrovert who gets their energy from other people, this must be even harder.

36、 you know roughly one third of food for human consumption goes to waste? Most of it is fresh fruit and vegetables that go bad. The produce dries out or goes bad, which has led scientists to develop ways of coating or sealing the food to keep it fresher for longer. Now research at Rice University rev

The coating is extremely thick, and made from a mixture of powdered egg whites and yolks(70%), and some wood-sourced cellulose(纤维素) t

The egg-based coating, as it turned out, reduced each fruits chance to get exposed to oxygen.The non-poisonous coating was found to be flexible and tests showed that it was just as tough as other products, including synthetic(合成的) films, used in produce packaging.

40、For anyone with an egg allergy, the coating can be removed by thorough washing in water and is tasteless.The scientists hope this could be a breakthrough in the fight against food waste. “Reducing food shortages in ways that are not related to genetic modification, uneatable coatings or chemical add

41、itives is important for better sustainable living ,” said materials scientist and study author Pulickel Ajayan.Whats great about this discovery is that it fights food waste in more than one way: even the coating was made from eggs that would otherwise have been discarded because they werent fit for
