3D-printing 'living' houses on Mars??? How your favourite smoothie ingredient gave one scientist a genius idea
47+ 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…...
Tiny Doses of Biochar Supercharge Biogas from Slaughterhouse Wastewater
3+ 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
3+ 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…...
Caged Nickel Catalyst Turns Greenhouse Gases Into Syngas and Refuses to
2+ hour ago (660+ words) Two of the most troublesome greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, can be forced to react with one another in a process known as dry reforming of methane, a reaction that converts both pollutants into valuable synthesis gas, a mixture…...
Green Solvents and Microwaves Unlock Antioxidant Treasures Hidden in
2+ hour, 42+ min ago (55+ words) Chemists in Pakistan have shown that the secret to extracting powerful antioxidant compounds from the leaves of the lemon-scented eucalyptus tree lies in matching the polarity of the solvent to the chemistry of the target molecules. In a study published…...
Tea-Grown Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Turn Chitosan Films Into Tunable
2+ hour, 50+ min ago (617+ words) A team of materials scientists has shown that ordinary green tea can do far more than steep a soothing drink: its polyphenol-rich extract can grow phase-pure nickel oxide nanoparticles that, when embedded in a biodegradable chitosan matrix, transform a humble…...
Engineered Porous Carbon Traps Cancer-Causing Benzene From Air and
2+ hour, 53+ min ago (72+ words) Benzene is one of the most insidious chemicals that ordinary people encounter every day. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies it as a Group 1 human carcinogen, meaning there is established evidence that it causes cancer in humans, with…...
Spent Coffee Grounds Turned Into Carbon Dots That Boost Antibacterial Food
2+ hour, 53+ min ago (524+ words) Every year, the world brews billions of cups of coffee, and almost all of the spent grounds end up in landfills, where they slowly decompose and release methane....
Bubble Collapse and Hydrogen Peroxide Join Forces to Destroy Stubborn Dye
3+ hour, 7+ min ago (672+ words) Synthetic dyes are among the most stubborn pollutants humanity releases into rivers and groundwater, and azo dyes—the largest class, defined by their characteristic nitrogen–nitrogen double bond—account for an estimated 60 to 70 percent of global colorant production....
MXenes Emerge as Frontier Nanomaterials Powering Supercapacitors and Clean
3+ hour, 7+ min ago (79+ words) A sweeping review published in Discover Electrochemistry has consolidated more than a decade of progress on MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides that many researchers now regard as the most versatile nanoarchitecture in modern energy…...
