NEW YORK - industrial chemical Scientists have developed a new method to break down plastic waste, using moisture from the air. By exposing a common type of plastic to an inexpensive catalyst and leaving it exposed to ambient air, researchers broke down 94% of the material in just four hours. The plastic transformed into terephthalic
Imagine the vastness of the world’s oceans. Now, picture an underwater realm three times that size, not spread across the planet’s surface but hidden deep beneath it. A team of scientists has recently uncovered a monumental discovery — a colossal ocean trapped 700 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. This find is rewriting what we know
BEIJING - Filling an empty gas tank in an SUV might take five or six minutes. A new electric SUV from China’s BYD can charge its battery in roughly the same amount of time, using one of the company’s new EV chargers. 1.
