How AI could replace animal testing
1+ hour, 8+ min ago (1137+ words) Scientists across Europe are combining AI, human cells and mini-organs to predict chemical harm, reducing the need for testing on animals. Around 150,000 animals, mostly rats and mice, are used in the EU each year to test the safety of everyday…...
Corn Waste Yields Bio-Based Flame Retardant That Matches Chemicals
9+ hour, 45+ min ago (720+ words) Every year, roughly 2.3 million tons of flame retardants are applied worldwide, and demand keeps climbing, especially in construction. Most are made from petroleum, mined minerals, or halogenated chemistry that works well in fires but lingers in the environment and raises…...
3D-printing 'living' houses on Mars??? How your favourite smoothie ingredient gave one scientist a genius idea
5+ hour, 48+ min ago (610+ words) Yeast and gelatine could be used to create a sticky building material like concrete for constructing human habitats on Mars. How can frozen fruit help us build human habitats on Mars? Maybe not directly, but frozen fruit has sparked a…...
Molecular Orbital Theory and Valence Bond Theory: Two Ways to Understand How Bonds Really Work
1+ hour, 33+ min ago (328+ words) The quantum mechanical side of chemical bonding — explained without the math. So you know what a …...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9077: Conditional Deep Convolutional GAN for the Design of High-Performance Periodic Absorber Metasurfaces
5+ hour, 43+ min ago (271+ words) This work presents a conditional deep convolutional generative adversarial network (CDCGAN) for the inverse design of high-absorptance periodic metasurfaces (MSs) with different geometries. The conditioning mechanism encodes geometric and spectral parameters. A key innovation is the inclusion of unit cells…...
Carbon Dots Emerge as a Powerful Weapon Against Superbugs and Biofilms
2+ hour, 31+ min ago (75+ words) A new comprehensive review published in the Journal of Nanoparticle Research surveys one of the most quietly promising corners of nanomedicine: carbon dots, nanoscale specks of carbon that are showing remarkable ability to kill bacteria and dismantle the sticky biofilms…...
Recycling PFAS Waste Into Silver Fluoride for Cleaner Chemistry
4+ hour, 30+ min ago (783+ words) Fluorinated waste streams have long been among the most stubborn environmental problems of the industrial age, and few sources illustrate the challenge better than aqueous film-forming foam, the firefighting agent that has contaminated soil and groundwater around airports, military bases…...
Tiny Doses of Biochar Supercharge Biogas from Slaughterhouse Wastewater
5+ hour, 4+ min ago (718+ words) Slaughterhouses are among the most difficult facilities to keep environmentally clean. Every carcass processed leaves behind a wastewater stream loaded with blood proteins, fats, oils and grease, suspended solids, and an enormous chemical oxygen demand that can overwhelm conventional treatment…...
Corn Starch Electrolyte Boosted Tenfold with Plasticizer and Graphene Oxide
5+ hour, 4+ min ago (80+ words) A team of researchers at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad has shown that an ordinary kitchen staple, corn starch, can be transformed into a surprisingly capable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries when it is combined with the right additives. In work…...
