Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains strange water never seen in our solar system

Less than a year ago, astronomers spotted a comet passing through our solar system that originated far beyond it. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever detected, and scientists are now uncovering clues about the alien environment where it formed. A new study led by researchers at the University […]

Clean hydrogen created from plastic waste using battery acid from old cars and solar power

Clean hydrogen created from plastic waste using battery acid from old cars and solar power

Scientists have developed a method to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen using solar power and acid from old car batteries. The one-pot process transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable industrial chemicals and clean fuel, potentially creating a circular upcycling system that tackles multiple problematic waste streams at once, the researchers say. Condensation polymers like polyethylene
