Toxic chemicals from old products are still spreading across Europe
5+ hour, 22+ min ago (921+ words) Flame retardants banned across Europe decades ago are still turning up in the environment, from industrial areas to remote Arctic and alpine regions. Some chemicals do not disappear after governments ban them. A sweeping new review found that flame retardants…...
In 2000, Sandia used a 416-nanometer cheesecloth-like crystal to bend infrared light with little loss. 26 years later, the approach still guides research into faster, cooler photonic chips
7+ hour, 56+ min ago (321+ words) In 2000, Sandia used a 416-nanometer cheesecloth-like crystal to bend infrared light with little loss. 26 The Economic Times In 2000, researchers at the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories demonstrated a tiny structure that could bend infrared light with very little loss…...
Forget Acid Rain: Electrically Charged Raindrops Can Corrode Metal in a Way We Never Knew About
4+ hour, 50+ min ago (655+ words) Metals everywhere need to be protected from corrosion, from beloved cars to iconic buildings, sculptures, and ships. However, according to new research, there's a source of corrosion we didn't know about – and haven't been accounting for. That source is electrically…...

Scientists Create Material That Can Shapeshift and Expand 80,000% Using Only Light
9+ hour, 44+ min ago (370+ words) In experiments reported in Nature Communications, the material expanded more than 80,000% within 40 seconds and could be repeatedly programmed into helices, twists, and hybrid structures. Researchers also used its light-controlled motion to lift objects and drive a miniature rotary system, pointing…...
Bio tar is 10 to 20 percent of what a biomass reactor produces and roughly two thirds carbon, and a review argues the stuff plants pay to dispose of is worth keeping
8+ hour ago (805+ words) A flask of bio tar collecting There is a glass flask clamped under a pipe in most pyrolysis plants. What drips into it is almost black and thick enough to hang before it falls. It coats the glass, stiffens the…...
A practical recycling strategy for making thiophosphate molecules with enzymes
7+ hour, 42+ min ago (57+ words) An enzymatic platform for constructing the thiophosphate molecular motif without relying on large amounts of expensive reagents has been developed. The method lays the foundation for developing enzymatic cascades to synthesize thiophosphate-containing motifs in drug development. An expensive reagent to…...
