Metal–organic framework@polymer (MOF/polymer) composite beads for highly efficient iodine capture and recovery.
Plasma Technique Improves Laser Sintering of 3D products
An international team of scientists conducted a comprehensive study of the usability of plasma treated PA12 powder in laser sintering for applications which require high hydrophilicity.
Understanding Weather and Climate of the past 300 years from Ships’ Logbooks
Ships’ logbooks dating back to the seventeenth century have helped scientists to capture different features of climate during the last centuries previously unknown.
How do People Adapt to Environmental Shocks and Stresses?
How do most people adapt to floods? What do most people do to cope with heatwaves? Which strategies to adapt to any environmental shock or stress are most common and which most rare?
Using Raindrops to Power Wearable Electronics
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology Beijing report a wearable self-cleaning/charging power system (SPS) that can harvest electrical energy from falling raindrops.
Technoeconomic Assessment of Hydrothermal Liquefaction Oil from Lignin
Lignin is a by-product of the Kraft pulping process and is typically burned for energy within the pulp and paper mill plant. Due to energy efficiency measures in Kraft pulp mills, its availability has recently greatly increased. This surplus lignin provides a readily available feedstock for conversion into a phenolic-rich bio-oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
