Record-breaking fluorescent aluminum compound discovered.
A new aluminum compound has achieved a quantum yield of one in its dissolved state, a level of fluorescence that has not been achieved in
Modified bacteria produce industrial chemicals.
Scientists at Northwestern University in Evanston and LanzaTech have developed a biotechnological process that makes the production of the chemicals acetone and isopropanol less harmful
Plastic particles fuel fat cells.
Plastic chemicals have been suspected of affecting weight, hormones, and metabolism. A recent study has confirmed that these chemicals, known as endocrine disruptors, do indeed
2D Polymer: Stronger Than Steel
A new plastic material has been developed that is harder than bulletproof glass and has a higher tensile strength than construction steel. This material could
Unmeltable Ice Made from Water
Revolutionary Super-Ice Developed for Sustainable Food Cooling A new type of ice has been developed by scientists at the University of California in Davis (UC
Liquid Metal CO2 Capture
A new method for carbon dioxide capture has been developed by scientists at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia. The process involves
Indestructible Chemicals Destroyed by Heat
Scientists have developed a method to break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which were previously considered indestructible. PFAS are oil and water repellent and
Palladium Nanoparticles Store Hydrogen
A new technology based on “nanopralines” made of palladium could simplify the use of hydrogen as a climate-neutral fuel by reducing the amount of energy
Sustainable Biofuel from Modified Gut Bacteria
Scientists at the University of California in Berkeley and the University at Buffalo have developed a method to produce biofuels from genetically modified Escherichia coli
Wooden knives harder and sharper than steel knives.
In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of US scientists has developed a simple and cost-effective method to make wood harder and sharper than steel. This
