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
Administrator Injection halves risk of chromosome error common in older human eggs Egg cells missing a key protein may be more likely to end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, but an mRNA injection that helps the cells make the protein reduces the problem 🔗 Read full article S... research science
Administrator Special relativity can warp chemical bonds – now we’ve seen it happen An experiment with a charged molecule of bismuth and carbon reveals how effects from Albert Einstein’s special relativity reshape the standard understanding of chemical bonds 🔗 Read full article Sourc... research science
Administrator Heidelberg physicists just united two opposing quantum theories A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades. The findings could reshape experime... materials science
Administrator Why gold never tarnishes has finally been explained Gold may have a secret self-defense system that helps it resist tarnishing. Researchers discovered that atoms on gold surfaces reorganize themselves into patterns that block oxygen from reacting with ... materials science
Administrator This electric field trick boosted heat flow by nearly 300% Researchers discovered that electricity can dramatically reshape how heat flows through certain ceramic materials, increasing heat conduction by almost threefold in a preferred direction. The unexpect... materials science
