Asbestos is a naturally occuring mineral with very tiny, microscopic fibers. When asbestos is generally disturbed, the fibers become airborne. These fibers can be easily inhaled, causing potential life-threatening harm after being trapped in the lungs.
Engineers from Lancaster University propose a new way of producing renewable biofuel additives using radiation derived from nuclear waste to achieve zero carbon emission targets.
University of Illinois developed a new approach involving zeolites to make water molecules and its fluidity as better catalyst for chemical reactions instead of harmful solvents.
Researchers from Purdue University created the world's whitest paint ever that works through radiative cooling that reduces the need for air conditioning and helps curb global warming.
Scientists recently learned that sunlight can also chemically transform plastics into a soup of new chemicals that no longer resemble the original product, which could be more sinister than microplastics that persist forever in the environment.
A new Tiktok trend shows people mixing a bunch of colorful chemicals to clean the toilet. But experts warn against this as people could accidentally inhale harmful chemicals, such as chlorine gas and chloroform.
Researchers used marine mussels to improve the mechanical properties of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels. The mussels made hydrogels better than the original design, improving properties useful for wound healing.
Researchers recently developed a new type of catalyst that could break ammonia under lower temperatures. This catalyst will pave the way to a greener future by harvesting hydrogen fuels effortlessly without emissions.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy discovered how gold nanoparticles behaved unusually when placed at the edge of graphene sheets thanks to Ultrafast Electron Microscope.
A new study reports the discovery of a novel aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) molecule, one that has potential applications in nanogating, sensing, and targeted drug release.
