Northwestern University researchers have developed a new water- and oil-resistant material that could become a safe, viable replacement for harmful plastics and toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food packaging.
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed an interface that creates "virtual sorting nanomachines" without the need to manufacture actual devices.
University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ribonucleoprotein complexes that slides strand-against-strand as the viral polymerase copies RNA, offering ...
A research team has developed a "next-generation AI electronic nose" capable of distinguishing scents like the human olfactory system does and analyzing them using artificial intelligence. This technology converts scent molecules ...
Fire is arguably humanity's earliest discovery. It was pivotal in advancing society—underpinning many of humanity's most transformative inventions, from cooking and forging weapons to generating energy and enabling car ...
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists have long eyed graphene—an ...
Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that. Researchers at Monash University have developed a water filtration membrane that effectively removes small ...
Modern cancer treatments have evolved beyond traditional chemotherapy to include targeted approaches such as immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and photothermal therapy. Graphene oxide (GO), known for its biocompatibility, ...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a toxic and corrosive byproduct of fossil fuel extraction, poses significant environmental and industrial challenges. While the conventional Claus process converts H2S into elemental sulfur, it fails ...
Oil contamination from various human activities (such as oil spills from production, transportation, shipping, and storage) and natural events (e.g., natural seepage) has caused significant environmental, ecological, and ...
