Novel material efficiently removes 'forever chemicals'

University of Utah researchers have developed a material that addresses an urgent environmental challenge: the real-time detection and efficient removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic and persistent member of the ...

This temporary tattoo could detect an unwanted drug in your drink

Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have created a temporary tattoo sticker that has a hidden, but possibly lifesaving, purpose: detecting the presence of one drug used to "spike" alcoholic beverages and facilitate sexual ...

Advanced corrosion assessment using AI-powered imaging technology

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Qatar Science and Technology Research Center (QSRTC) have developed a new automated method to assess corrosion in industrial equipment using advanced machine learning ...

Quantum discovery reveals how enzymes tame free radicals

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet dangerous molecules.

LAHB: New bioplastic can lose 80% of its mass after 13 months

Researchers have demonstrated a new eco-friendly plastic that decomposes in deep ocean conditions. In a deep-sea experiment, the microbially synthesized poly(d-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) (LAHB) biodegraded, while conventional ...
