Treated Plastic Waste Good at Grabbing Carbon Dioxide. What seems like a win-win for a pair of pressing environmental problems describes a Rice University lab’s newly discovered chemical technique to turn waste plastic into an effective carbon dioxide (CO2) sorbent for industry. Rice chemist...
Glass Learns to Glow and Heat Itself. Thanks to the new shaping possibilities, researchers at Fraunhofer IKTS have discovered that glass can be processed at significantly lower temperatures and thus be mixed with fillers that enable new functions. This opens up a wide range of new fields of...
Generating New Molecules with Graph Grammar. Chemical engineers and materials scientists are constantly looking for the next revolutionary material, chemical, and drug. The rise of machine-learning approaches is expediting the discovery process, which could otherwise take years. However, deep...
Scientists Develop Environmentally Safe, Frost-resistant Coatings. Airports are busy, especially during the winter. As passengers wait to board, delays get longer when airplanes need to be dowsed with thousands of gallons of deicing fluids that help them fight the frigid winter. But as soon as...
New Polymer Membrane Tech Improves Efficiency of Carbon Dioxide Capture. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants. Membranes are...
New Golden Design Rules from the Consumer Goods Forum Driving Action Towards a Circular Economy for Plastic Packaging. In collaboration with the Consumer Goods Forum , a cross-value chain group of major brand owners, recyclers and plastics associations are working on a set of ‘golden rules’...
New Adaptable Smart Window Coating Could Help Heat or Cool a Home and Save Energy. Researchers at the University of Oxford have collaborated with industry experts to develop an adaptable smart window technology that could reduce the energy usage of an average home by up to a third. The new...
Green Aerospace Tech to Receive Record UK Government Funding. The UK’s aerospace technology research programme, the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), is to receive record levels of government funding, Industry Minister Lee Rowley confirmed on Tuesday 29 March 2022, driving forward the...
