Canadian scientists have developed a method to tackle microfibers, which shed from our clothing into the environment. Their newly developed coating could replace harmful chemicals previously used to cover clothing, such as POLY(DIMETHYLSILOXANE), also known as dimethicone. This compound could be a savior against microplastics from clothing and “ever lasting chemicals,” perfluoroalkyl substances, often used […]

Blue image with icons showing H2 Hydrogen
Hydrogen would be a 100% eco-friendly fuel if not for a few issues. The primary challenge is its extraction. Earth’s hydrogen reserves are scarce. While hydrogen can be produced from water, it requires resources and energy, which is where complications arise. Hydrogen’s Reaction with Air When hydrogen (H) burns in air (containing oxygen, O), it […]

Can Bacteria Decompose Plastic and Eat Our Trash? [Investigation]

Written by Raf Chomsky
Yes, they can. The first bacteria capable of decomposing nylon were discovered in the 1970s. However, it took almost half a century to discover others that can break down PET (Polyethylene terephthalate). Will they ever consume our trash? There’s already such a recycling facility in France. The Story Begins in 2001 at a Landfill in […]
