Administrator Scientists found two powerful new ways to destroy forever chemicals Scientists are testing two promising ways to destroy PFAS, the stubborn “forever chemicals” that can accumulate in water and resist normal treatment. One method uses collapsing vapor bubbles to genera... chemistry science
Administrator 50 year quest ends with creation of silicon aromatic once thought impossible After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many thought might be impossible: creating a long-sought silicon-based aromatic ... chemistry science
Administrator A strange quantum effect dramatically boosts energy transfer Researchers discovered a proton-assisted mechanism that greatly improves how triplet energy moves between quantum dots and nearby molecules. The proton briefly shifts position, helps coordinate electr... chemistry science
Administrator Next-generation Alzheimer’s drug reduces risk of serious brain bleeds A new kind of antibody drug that more efficiently enters the brain could slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease with a much lower risk of dangerous side effects than existing therapies 🔗 Read ful... research science
Administrator Restoring ability to remove zombie cells may keep us sharp as we age Zombie, or senescent, cells accumulate in our body with age, when we become less able to clear them. But a study in mice suggests that a drug could restore this ability and improve ageing outcomes 🔗 R... research science
Administrator Supplement that binds to microplastics may remove them from our body A supplement comprised of dead bacteria seems to remove microplastics, and prevent their absorption into cells, by attracting them to the bacteria's rough surfaces 🔗 Read full article Source: New Scie... research science
Administrator New “living plastic” self-destructs in just 6 days without leaving microplastics Researchers have created self-destructing living plastic that uses engineered bacteria to completely break itself down when activated. The material degrades in just six days without creating microplas... materials science
Administrator Quantum breakthrough links light and magnetism in atomically thin materials A new review highlights exciting progress in atomically thin quantum materials where light and magnetism work together in ways never before possible. In these materials, light-generated excitons can i... materials science
Administrator Scientists built a camera that can track invisible particles in 3D A new particle detector called PLATON could replace millions of tiny detector components with a single block of light-producing material. Using a light-field camera, highly sensitive photon sensors, a... materials science
Administrator Iron outperforms rare metals in stunning chemistry advance Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ... chemistry science
Administrator Green hydrogen has a hidden problem and scientists may have fixed it Green hydrogen could be a game-changer for the clean energy transition—but right now, it’s too expensive and still relies on harmful “forever chemicals.” A new EU-backed project called SUPREME aims to... chemistry science
Administrator A tiny universe in a bottle reveals clues to the origins of life Researchers have created cosmic dust from scratch by recreating space-like conditions inside glass tubes. The dust contains complex carbon-rich molecules built from elements essential to life and prod... chemistry science
