<title>New recyclable protein textiles could cut microplastic pollution and lower clothing waste</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/new-recyclable-protein-textiles-could-cut-microplastic-pollution-and-lower-clothing-waste</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The textile industry produces a substantial portion of the world&#039;s waste, with only about 12% of fiber materials ending up in recycling. Textiles also account for much of the microplastics in oceans. During every wash cycle, synthetic fibers shed microplastics that are flushed down the drain and eventually enter aquatic environments. Increasing textile recycling alone won&#039;t solve this problem because most petrochemical-based fibers are difficult to recycle and continue to release persistent microplastics throughout their life cycle. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/debunking-a-core-chemistry-concept-taught-in-classrooms-everywhere</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new study has revealed that a core idea taught in chemistry classrooms around the world may be wrong. Dr. Edwin Johnson, Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, co-authored the paper published in the Journal of Chemical Education with academics from University of Cardiff and University of New England. &quot;Our Australian–U.K. study has revisited how chemistry textbooks explain the behavior of electrons inside molecules, a concept used to understand why chemicals react the way they do,&quot; Dr. Edwin said. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ From writing emails to generating computer code, much of the artificial intelligence prevalent in our daily lives has succeeded by mastering one domain: text. However, this leaves a major blind spot in the physical sciences, where models depend on the high-resolution, three-dimensional data of the physical world, like the intricate lattice of atoms in a crystal. Delivering on the promise of using AI for science requires teaching these data-driven text models to seamlessly &quot;talk to&quot; physics-based models. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/careful-crystallization-unlocks-well-ordered-perovskite-layers-for-transistors</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Perovskites are a class of materials with a unique crystal structure that suits applications such as fabricating solar cells, light-emitting diodes and transistors. However, molecules in thin layers often cannot arrange themselves properly because the process proceeds too quickly. Now, an international research team led by Tomasz Marszalek from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has developed a new approach to controlling low-cost solution processing, thereby improving the formation of well-ordered perovskite layers and enabling their broader application in optoelectronic devices. Their paper is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A team at the University of Vienna, led by chemist Nuno Maulide, has developed a new method for controlling chemical reactions in a more targeted and efficient manner. At the heart of this is the concept of &quot;cation sampling&quot;: specially selected groups (ketones), in a sense, function as molecular signposts for randomly migrating positive charges, enabling reactions to take place at sites on a molecule that were previously difficult to access. The method allows carbon-hydrogen bonds (C–H bonds) to be specifically modified. The study was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. ]]></description>

<title>Overturning a 200&#45;year belief: New surface design enables two distinct wetting states on a single substrate</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/overturning-a-200-year-belief-new-surface-design-enables-two-distinct-wetting-states-on-a-single-substrate</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NIMS discovered a phenomenon in which droplets on a single solid surface exhibit both a &quot;sticky&quot; and &quot;repellent&quot; state simultaneously. Namely, the wetting behavior branches into two states. This is a discovery that overturns interface chemistry scientists&#039; belief held for over 200 years that, on a non-textured surface, the wetting state is uniquely determined by solid/liquid combinations. Furthermore, the research team also clarified a universal surface design principle that causes this phenomenon. This research result was published in Advanced Materials Interfaces on April 2, 2026. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/controlled-experiments-reveal-how-nuclear-fallout-particles-form</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In less than a millionth of a second after a nuclear detonation or a severe nuclear reactor accident, an enormous burst of energy heats the surrounding air and materials. Everything in the vicinity is vaporized into a hot, glowing cloud of gas and plasma. As that nuclear fireball expands, it mixes with air, begins to cool and condenses into tiny solid particles—creating nuclear fallout. ]]></description>

<title>From pore chemistry to carbon capture, new COFs push beyond membrane performance limits</title>
<link>https://www.ngo.ink/from-pore-chemistry-to-carbon-capture-new-cofs-push-beyond-membrane-performance-limits</link>
<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/from-pore-chemistry-to-carbon-capture-new-cofs-push-beyond-membrane-performance-limits</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is central to technologies ranging from natural gas purification to hydrogen production and carbon management. One widely used approach relies on thin filtering materials called membranes. However, these membranes face a major challenge: materials that allow CO2 to pass through quickly are often less effective at separating it from other gases, while highly selective materials usually slow the flow of CO2. This balancing act is known as the permeability-selectivity trade-off. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/new-reversible-conductive-glue-could-reshape-electronics-repair-recycling-and-material-recovery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A collaboration between electrical and chemical engineers at Newcastle University is responsible for a reversible glue that can change how we recycle electronic waste. The team has already demonstrated reversible adhesive technology with wide applicability in general packaging applications, but this new glue is electrically conductive. This means that it can join electronic components, just like solder does. Unlike solder, however, a simple wash with a green solvent like acetone, or using an alkaline solution, will allow the components to be separated for reuse or recycling. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The closest-ever detailed look at a key enzyme inside the virus that causes COVID-19 could lead to more effective treatment of the disease. Nucleotide analogs are a common type of antiviral medication that mimic the genetic material viruses use to replicate, essentially duping them into inserting faulty building blocks into new copies of the virus. Many nucleotide analogs don&#039;t work as well as expected against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, because coronaviruses carry an enzyme that identifies and removes genetic errors in its RNA—a &quot;proofreader&quot; called exoribonuclease (ExoN). ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The kingfisher&#039;s brilliant blue feathers were once used like paint to create works of art. The technique, known as tian-tsui, was popular during China&#039;s Qing Dynasty. And because tian-tsui uses delicate feathers, previous scientists struggled to study them using traditional analytical techniques. So, researchers reporting in ACS Omega developed new methods of investigating these featherworks without harming them. The team found that multiple bird species and layered pigments provided a one-of-a-kind palette. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/sustainable-electrosynthesis-enables-production-of-amines-directly-from-airborne-nitrogen</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Amines are a functional group characterized by the presence of a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl or aryl (aromatic ring) groups. Derived from ammonia, amines play crucial roles in biological systems and various industrial applications. In everyday life, they can be found in common products such as medicines and cosmetics, where they act as active ingredients or stabilizers. However, the production of amines typically relies on complex chemical processes that are often based on intermediates derived from fossil fuels or involve energy-intensive steps. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production of pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and fine chemicals. However, conventional acid-catalyzed hydration reactions typically follow Markovnikov&#039;s rule, yielding secondary or tertiary alcohols. Achieving the complementary anti-Markovnikov hydration, where water adds to form primary alcohols, has long remained a challenge in organic chemistry. Although photocatalytic strategies have emerged as promising alternatives, they are limited only to activated substrates, leaving a significant gap in practical and sustainable solutions. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ An international research team has identified a previously overlooked factor that influences how antibodies neutralize SARS-CoV-2: their mechanical stability under force. Antibodies are key components of the immune system that bind to viral particles and block infection. Traditionally, their effectiveness has been evaluated based on binding affinity alone—how strongly they attach to viral proteins. However, in the human body, antibodies function in a mechanically dynamic environment shaped by blood flow, respiratory motion, and cellular forces. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Many plastic products are designed to be used only once, yet the material itself lasts for years. But a new strategy is addressing this problem by creating products that self-destruct on command, known as living plastics. These materials incorporate activatable, plastic-degrading microbes alongside the polymers. One team reporting in ACS Applied Polymer Materials used two bacterial strains that worked together and completely broke down the material within just six days, without making microplastics. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A problem for researchers has been a lack of an agreed-upon standard gas diffusion electrode reactor to enable robust comparison of catalytic reactions. Instead, the common practice is to compare the performance of a new catalyst for a particular reaction against that of a &quot;standard&quot; or benchmark catalyst, within the same reactor. This practice reveals a further problem when no standard catalyst exists for a reaction, which typically applies to most reactions. In other words, researchers lack a platform to compare reaction processes. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish. Macrocyclic compounds are ubiquitous both in nature and in the chemical industrial setup. They are ring-shaped molecules with 12 or more atoms and are key components of many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Their unique structures let them lock onto specific proteins with impressive precision, making them exciting candidates for new therapies. Some even come with fun names—like robotnikinin, a macrocycle that inhibits the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) protein. However, synthesizing them hasn&#039;t been as fun as their names—until now. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ You pull on your rain jacket, step out into the storm, and within half an hour your undershirt is soaked. The jacket you purchased as &quot;waterproof&quot; seems to have stopped working, and all the marketing claims feel a bit suspect. In reality, the jacket probably hasn&#039;t failed overnight: a mix of how it&#039;s built, the exact level of water protection it offers, and years of sweat, skin oil and dirt have all played a part. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/from-trash-to-climate-tech-rubber-gloves-find-new-life-as-carbon-capturers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every year, over 100 billion nitrile rubber gloves are produced. They are made from synthetic polymers—a material chemically related to plastic and derived from crude oil. The vast majority is used in the health care sector, and most are discarded after single use. This creates a massive amount of material waste globally. However, Simon Kildahl, a postdoc at the Department of Chemistry at Aarhus University, has moved a step closer to a way of recycling these gloves. In a new study published in the journal Chem, he and his colleagues demonstrate how they can transform waste rubber into a CO2 adsorbent in the laboratory. The potential, he explains, is significant. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together. Implants often consist of pieces of the patient&#039;s own bone, known as autografts, or metal or ceramic parts. A key drawback of many of today&#039;s implants is that they require a second surgery to harvest the tissue for the autografts. Additionally, metal implants tend to be too rigid and may loosen over time, compromising stability. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ammonia at lower temperatures. By forming unique ternary transition metal–nitrogen–barium intermediates that facilitate nitrogen coupling, the system lowers the energy barrier for ammonia decomposition. This enables nickel- and cobalt-based catalysts to achieve high hydrogen-production activity at reduced temperatures, matching the performance of ruthenium while relying on Earth-abundant metals for cleaner hydrogen generation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different biological activities, potencies or toxicities, which means they can influence biological systems, be separated from one another and more. To fully unlock their potential in organic chemistry, it is important to create the necessary diastereomer, but their creation is a key problem in organic synthesis. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/molecular-identification-of-an-enzyme-reported-over-60-years-ago</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but their molecular identification among (function unknown) hypothetical genes (proteins) is difficult. Sugar acids are compounds formed by the oxidation of aldose monosaccharides. Metabolic genes for C4 and C5/C6 sugar acids are separately located on bacterial genomes. However, researchers discovered that in several bacteria, including the marine bacterium Paracoccus litorisediminis, these genes form a single cluster, in which a homologous gene to GL300_RS07945 was usually contained. GL300_RS07945, belonging to SDR protein superfamily, was a typical &quot;function unknown gene&quot; with less than 30% amino acid sequence similarity to any known functional protein. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic synthesis due to their durability and the ability to tune their function by modifying the ligands attached to the central metal atom. Most metals used in photocatalysts, such as ruthenium and iridium, are rare and expensive. Researchers at Nagoya University, Japan, previously developed an iron-based alternative, but it required large amounts of costly chiral ligands, which act as spatial templates to determine the three-dimensional structure of chemical products. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bio-based polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered one of the most promising sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived plastics. Poly[(D-lactate)-co-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (LAHB) is an environmentally biodegradable microbial copolyester, and its lactate (LA) content significantly influences its properties.

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/chitosan-nickel-biomaterial-becomes-stronger-when-wet-and-could-replace-plastics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new study led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has unveiled the first biomaterial that is not only waterproof but actually becomes stronger in contact with water. The material is produced by the incorporation of nickel into the structure of chitosan, a chitinous polymer obtained from discarded shrimp shells. The development of this new biomaterial marks a departure from the plastic-age mindset of making materials that must isolate from their environment to perform well. Instead, it shows how sustainable materials can connect and leverage their environment, using their surrounding water to achieve mechanical performance that surpasses common plastics. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA building blocks are held together by hydrogen bonds, the new base pair relies on halogen bonds as its central attraction force. These act like tiny, precisely aligned &quot;docking sites&quot; between molecules. The study demonstrates for the first time that such alternative bonds also enable stable DNA structures. It was published under the title &quot;Investigating Halogen Bonds as Pairing Force in an Artificial DNA Base Pair&quot; in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When developing new drugs, one thing is particularly important: finding and producing the right molecules that can be used as active ingredients. The key elements of some drugs, such as penicillin, are small, tri- or quadripartite ring molecules. A team led by Prof Frank Glorius from the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Münster (Germany) has now developed a method for efficiently converting readily available basic materials into such small, high-grade ring molecules. The product has a structure reminiscent of a line drawing of a house, hence its name &quot;housane.&quot; The reaction is triggered by a photocatalyst that transfers light energy to the molecules to enable the conversion. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared spectroscopy, which measures how light excites these vibrations, is often likened to listening to a molecule&#039;s voice. ]]></description>

These small slights from a manager may seem like no big deal, but new research from Wharton reveals that even the mildest of mistreatment at work can affect more than just employee morale. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Women perceive artificial intelligence (AI) as riskier than men do, according to a study. Beatrice Magistro and colleagues hypothesized that women are both more exposed to risk from AI and are more averse to risk in general than men. Their work was published in PNAS Nexus. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/lit-bots-beware-ai-creative-writing-faces-reader-skepticism-study-shows</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When it comes to creative writing, score one for the humans over the machines. For now, anyway. New research finds that people evaluate creative writing less favorably when they learn it was generated in whole or part by artificial intelligence. And the anti-AI bias is persistent and difficult to reduce, even when steps were taken to lessen the aversion within the experiments. ]]></description>

<title>Perceiving AI as a &amp;apos;job killer&amp;apos; negatively influences attitudes towards democracy, study suggests</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing our society and economy. A new study shows that the majority of people believe that artificial intelligence is displacing more human labor than it is creating new opportunities. Scientists at the University of Vienna and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) demonstrated a causal link: the stronger this perception, the more dissatisfied people are with democracy—and the less they participate in political debates about future technological developments. These effects occur even though artificial intelligence has had only a limited impact on the labor market so far. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/ai-bosses-are-creating-a-new-problem-for-gig-workers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For millions of gig workers driving for companies such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Deliveroo, there is no human manager to call, no supervisor to appeal to and no office to walk into. Decisions about pay, performance, penalties and access to work are made by algorithms. Increasingly, those algorithms are trying to explain themselves. This push towards &quot;explainable AI&quot; is often promoted as a way to improve fairness and trust. But new Macquarie University research suggests explaining too much can backfire. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When a crowd gets something right, like guessing how many beans are in a jar, forecasting an election, or solving a difficult scientific problem, it&#039;s tempting to credit the sharpest individual in the room. But new research suggests focusing on the &quot;expert&quot; can lead groups astray. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Researchers with Lehigh University&#039;s Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience, led by anthropologist David G. Casagrande, have identified two urgent challenges the United States faces in adapting to climate change: a potential disaster insurance crisis and the lack of comprehensive relocation policies for communities facing chronic flooding. Their paper, titled &quot;Climate Change and Insurance: Embracing Resilience for Private Market Survival,&quot; is published in Sustainable Development. ]]></description>

If the village was attacked, those closest to the powerful had a better chance of survival. ]]></description>

<title>Philadelphia communities help AI machine learning get better at spotting gentrification</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/philadelphia-communities-help-ai-machine-learning-get-better-at-spotting-gentrification</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Over the last several decades, urban planners and municipalities have sought to identify and better manage the socioeconomic dynamics associated with rapid development in established neighborhoods. The term &quot;gentrification&quot; has been lingua franca for generations of urbanites who have seen their communities change and property values, and commensurate taxes, shift in ways that can make it difficult for longtime residents to stay. But identifying its unmanaged creep can be a challenge, particularly in densely populated areas, as its visual hallmarks—such as new facades, mixes in building materials and changes in building heights—present differently in different cities and regions. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Why did the rotisserie chicken cross the aisle—and end up in your shopping cart? Maybe you grabbed the container that was closest to you, or maybe you examined all of the chickens, checking dates and timestamps to see when they were cooked. Markets follow various display strategies for prepared foods, with many stores making older items more visible so they&#039;ll be sold before they spoil. However, a theoretical model created by an NJIT researcher suggests that customers prefer finding the freshest items at the front of the displays. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hunter-gatherers like the Hadza of Tanzania are famous for their egalitarianism. A resource redistribution experiment conducted with the Hadza suggests many tolerate inequality—as long as it benefits themselves. Published in PNAS Nexus, Duncan N.E. Stibbard-Hawkes, Kris M. Smith, and colleagues asked 117 Hadza adults to redistribute food resources between themselves and an unspecified campmate after receiving either advantageous or disadvantageous initial allocations. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Climate change is not just reshaping the planet, it&#039;s already affecting how people feel about their lives, their health and their financial security, according to a new study from the Universities of Portsmouth and Dundee. The research shows that prolonged changes in weather linked to climate change, particularly abnormal temperatures, are quietly but significantly undermining people&#039;s mental well-being and confidence about their finances, with effects equivalent to losing hundreds of pounds a month. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ More stock trading is moving away from traditional public stock exchanges and into places called &quot;dark pools.&quot; These are private, electronic markets where investors buy and sell stocks without showing their orders to the public. Even as dark pools have grown increasingly popular, a recent study from the University of Missouri suggests they may make public stock markets less transparent and increase the risk of sudden stock price crashes. ]]></description>
