9+ min ago   (523+ words) Scientists in the UK were able to use genetically modified bacteria to turn plastic bottles into the common pain reliever acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol and Tylenol. Lead researcher Stephen Wallace, a Professor of Chemical Biotechnology at the University of…...

56+ min ago   (617+ words) Lithium-ion batteries are the leading choice in today’s electric vehicle and battery energy storage system industries, but they contain a number of critical minerals – including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite – that are considered essential for economic and national security reasons,…...

3+ hour, 46+ min ago   (435+ words) Optical computing offers high speed and low consumption for data compression and computer vision. However, most optical differentiators are static. The group in Nanjing University proposes a reconfigurable ferroelectric chiral nanostructure to dynamically control optical differentiation. By switching the electric…...

The hydrogel forms a stable, tissue-like biomaterial with applications in next-generation regenerative medicine research....

4+ hour, 34+ min ago   (398+ words) Cornell scientists have modified a bacterium to accelerate the breakdown of ultramafic rock, speeding up a natural reaction that can support carbon dioxide capture. That same process also releases cobalt and nickel, suggesting that one approach could aid both climate…...

Low-density polyethylene mulch film is widely used to conserve soil moisture, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and improve agricultural productivity....

7+ hour, 23+ min ago   (299+ words) In this volatile state, it transfers energy directly to ambient oxygen molecules. This transfer creates destructive reactive oxygen species. These volatile molecules quickly tear through vital cellular structures. Land plants rely on carotenoid pigments to counter this threat. They use…...

7+ hour, 19+ min ago   (547+ words) These vacancies activate a pre-formed, previously blocked migration pathway for lithium cations, transforming pure LTO into a superior ion conductor. In manufacturing, perfection is usually the goal. A single microscopic flaw can ruin a microchip, crack a structural beam, or…...
