In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It's now about 400 million tons—an increase of nearly 20,000%.

Plastic pyrolysis is a chemical process that involves chemically breaking down plastics into other molecules by heating the plastics to extremely high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.

Much of cell behavior is governed by the actions of biomolecular condensates: building block molecules that glom together and ...

Researchers are discovering the electrochemical properties of biomolecular condensates which could help in development of cancer or ALS treatments.

It's rare for any observatory to directly image a planet beyond our solar system, called an exoplanet, but the powerful James ...

Hundreds of regular patterns spontaneously emerge on a small germanium chip. A curiosity about tiny dots on a germanium wafer with metal films led to the discovery of intricate spiral patterns etched ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...

Water behaves in strange ways under extreme conditions. Scientists have now confirmed a fourth form of ice, called Plastic ...

Loria foresees putting some of that CO 2 back into concrete and cement to make more sustainable materials for construction ...

"We have observed giant gas planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, but in another solar system," explains the leader of this research on the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years away. The study ...
