Recycling remains one of the most viable strategies for managing plastic waste, yet traditional methods face several ...

Irradiation can also complement and enhance traditional recycling methods. When combined with a chemical recycling method ...

Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on High-tech Polymer Materials, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, P. R. China School of Chemical Sciences, University of ...

This technique uses real-world physics to control and shape water waves, but the effect resembles that of an unseen force moving things, as fictionalized in popular shows and books. The ...

Space is a hostile environment for humans. Even on Mars, settlers might have a hard time coping with potentially lethal levels of radiation, scarce resources and reduced gravity.

This article presents a novel floating shielding technique (FST) that blocks CM noise while improving the ZVS range. Testing on a 242 kHz, 380V/48V, 250W LLC half-bridge converter shows that the FST ...

protein unique to tardigrades to shield healthy cells. When tested in mice, the nanoparticles successfully protected healthy cells while allowing radiation to continue targeting tumors.

As a result, strategic radiation-hardened electronics must be able to operate in hostile radiation environments, as well as in the natural radiation environment of space. A high-altitude EMP ...

Researchers are testing new materials and innovative detection and shielding techniques to absorb or deflect cosmic radiation. Future spacecraft may incorporate multi-layered protective barriers or ...

The first key discovery came in 2016: a unique protein in tardigrade cells called Dsup (short for “damage suppressor”) was found to bind to DNA and shield it from radiation injury. Dsup acts ...
