CursusScientists from the Virginia Tech University have developed a method to recycle PVC waste into components for lubricants, which could help reduce plastic pollution and make oil production more environmentally friendly. The team is currently working on scaling up the technology for industrial use.
CursusA new study has shown that ancient Greek priests were able to transform poisonous ergot into a safe psychoactive drink using ash and water. This suggests that people had access to complex chemical processes long before the advent of modern chemistry, although there is still no archaeological evidence to confirm this.
CursusAn international team of scientists has proposed a new explanation for the mysterious will-o'-the-wisps: their appearance is linked to microlightning—tiny electrical sparks between methane bubbles that produce a cold glow. This discovery paves the way for further research into this natural phenomenon.
CursusA new study has shown that hycean worlds—water-rich exoplanets with vast oceans—are much rarer than previously believed, due to water loss from chemical processes. This finding casts doubt on the existence of worlds where oceans make up a significant portion of their mass.
