Corn Waste Yields Bio-Based Flame Retardant That Matches Chemicals
13+ hour, 2+ 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…...
Carbon Dots Emerge as a Powerful Weapon Against Superbugs and Biofilms
5+ hour, 49+ 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…...
Corn Starch Electrolyte Boosted Tenfold with Plasticizer and Graphene Oxide
8+ hour, 21+ 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…...
Tea-Grown Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Turn Chitosan Films Into Tunable
11+ hour, 8+ 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…...
MXenes Emerge as Frontier Nanomaterials Powering Supercapacitors and Clean
11+ hour, 25+ 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…...
Weaker Water Bonds Boost Hydrogen Evolution on Titanium Dioxide
11+ hour, 45+ min ago (351+ words) Hydrogen produced by splitting water with sunlight has long been one of the most attractive goals in sustainable energy research, offering a clean fuel whose only byproduct when burned is water. Photocatalytic water splitting, in which semiconductor materials absorb light…...
AI-Inspired Algorithms Sharpen a Copper-Based Optical Sensor for
12+ hour, 2+ min ago (718+ words) Arsenic in the groundwater of Bangladesh remains one of the world’s most severe environmental health crises, with naturally mobilized arsenic exceeding guideline values across large parts of the Bengal Basin....
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
13+ hour, 27+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
