There are exam�ples of art imi�tating nature all around us - the human con�cep�tion of nat�ural phe�nomena daz�zles but does not often surprise. Yet when a researcher peered under the elec�tron micro�scope last fall, she dis�cov�ered the exact oppo�site. Instead of art imi�tating nature, she found nature imi�tating art.

A new study evaluates the impact of polyvinylpyrrolidone coated silver nanoparticles on the composting of municipal solid waste. The findings suggest that at relatively low concentrations, the organically rich waste management systems' functionality may not be influenced by the presence of silver nanoparticles.
