Plasma is the new green: Ionized gas improves treatment of PET fibers
(PhysOrg.com) -- A more environmentally friendly process to treat textile fibers that are used in garments, carpets, curtains, and other applications has recently been reported by researchers from the University of Torino (Italy) in the journal ChemSusChem. The team, led by Guido Viscardi, describe how treating polymeric fibers with a low-temperature partially ionized gas increases the ability of the fibers to attract water, which is necessary to make them easier to process.IBM, Stanford cite advance in plastic recycling
When you recycle a plastic bottle, it doesn't necessarily become another plastic bottle.Asking 'what would nature do?' leads to a way to break down a greenhouse gas
A recent discovery in understanding how to chemically break down the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into a useful form opens the doors for scientists to wonder what organism is out there - or could be created - to accomplish the task.Ph.D. comics

Big power from tiny wires: Carbon nanotubes can produce powerful waves that could be harnessed for new energy systems
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that can cause powerful waves of energy to shoot through minuscule wires known as carbon nanotubes. The discovery could lead to a new way of producing electricity, the researchers say.Cotton is the fabric of your lights, your MP3 player, your cell phone
Consider this T-shirt: It can monitor your heart rate and breathing, analyze your sweat and even cool you off on a hot summer's day. Or a solar-powered dress that can charge your MP3 player? This is not science fiction -- this is cotton in 2010.Insulators made into conductors: Polymers coaxed to line up, transformed into materials that could dissipate heat
Most polymers -- materials made of long, chain-like molecules -- are very good insulators for both heat and electricity. But scientists have now found a way to transform the most widely used polymer, polyethylene, into a material that conducts heat just as well as most metals, yet remains an electrical insulator.Natural and artificial sheaths used to mend traumatic bone loss
A research team has shown that the stem-cell rich periosteum sheath around bone can be used to mend serious bone loss faster and more simply than bone grafts. The researchers have developed an artificial periosteum that can be implanted in patients who have too little of the natural covering left.Synthetic 'sea shells' made from chalk and materials used in disposable coffee cups
Scientists have made synthetic 'sea shells' from a mixture of chalk and polystyrene cups -- and produced a tough new material that could make our homes and offices more durable.Blog Posts
