Scientists have discovered in space the largest organic molecule ever found among the stars, a structure of 13 atoms that could be the "missing link" between the chemistry of the cosmos and the origin of life on Earth.
9+ hour, 18+ min ago (919+ words) An international team identified in space the largest organic molecule with sulfur ever found among the stars. The structure has 13 atoms, was announced in January 2026, and has brought the discussion about the origin of life on Earth back to the…...
Innovative hydrogen stove technology uses 100 ml of water and 1 k Wh of energy to operate for hours.
1+ week, 4+ day ago (529+ words) A new home cooking technology allows a hydrogen stove to operate for several hours using only 100 ml of water and 1 k Wh of electricity. The device, developed by JX Nippon Sanso in partnership with the startup One Click, uses an…...
Cambridge University creates a solar reactor that transforms hard-to-recycle plastic and battery acid into clean hydrogen, operating for over 260 hours and paving the way to add industrial value to two waste materials that currently lead to disposal and environmental costs.
1+ week, 6+ day ago (565+ words) Researchers from the University of Cambridge developed a solar-powered reactor capable of transforming hard-to-recycle plastics and used battery acid into clean hydrogen and industrially valuable chemical compounds. The proposal brings together, in a single system, two problematic wastes and converts…...
Researchers at the University of Surrey have discovered that simply NOT removing water from a battery material can double its capacity, and as a bonus, the same system can desalinate seawater while storing energy.
2+ week, 8+ hour ago (935+ words) The compound in question is sodium-vanadium oxide, a material already known and studied for years in the field of sodium-ion batteries. Traditionally, this compound undergoes thermal treatment to remove water, because it has always been believed that the presence of…...
Few people know, but the most nutritious part of wheat has been discarded for decades to produce white flour, and the "polyamine" spermidine activates cellular cleaning, reduces mortality, and may slow down memory loss.
3+ week, 12+ hour ago (885+ words) This discovery repositions a widely ignored byproduct of the food industry as one of the most studied elements in aging science in recent years. Spermidine is a polyamine, an organic molecule produced naturally by the body from amino acids. Its…...
Scientists discover that humanity has exchanged one environmental disaster for another: the same chemicals that saved the ozone layer are now contaminating rivers, aquifers, and human blood with an eternal pollutant that is impossible to remove.
3+ week, 2+ day ago (844+ words) Trifluoroacetic acid is a fluorinated acid molecule that belongs to the same family as PFAS'the so-called "eternal chemicals" because they resist decomposition in nature. Once formed, TFA easily dissolves in water, moves with rivers and groundwater, and is extremely difficult…...
Brazilian students create a biodegradable sanitary pad costing R$0, 02 using natural waste, win a global award, and could revolutionize the fight against menstrual poverty by replacing products made with plastic and having a high environmental impact.
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (1026+ words) Brazilian students Laura Drebes and Camily Pereira transformed a silent and urgent problem into an innovation with the potential for global reach. By creating a biodegradable sanitary pad with an estimated cost of only R$ 0, 02 per unit, they attracted attention…...
What happens when scientists change the atomic structure of a common metal? A super aluminum emerges, capable of mimicking rare minerals used in advanced electronics and potentially drastically reducing the global costs of technology production.
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (715+ words) A technological discovery with a major industrial impact is attracting the attention of researchers investigating new materials for advanced electronics. Scientists have developed A sustainable super aluminum capable of mimicking the properties of rare minerals. This paves the way for…...
They developed a new device that can extract potable water from the dry desert air and produce up to 1, 3 liters per kg of material per day, operating with less than 40% humidity and capturing water even when the air is dry.
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (822+ words) According to the team, in an indoor environment with dry air, the collector was able to generate up to 1, 3 liters per day for each kilogram of the absorbent material, operating with relative humidity below 40%, a level at which traditional condensation…...
The smell of rain really exists, and science explains why some people can smell the aroma of wet earth.
