Gas leakages are a serious issue and can have significant safety, environmental and cost implications.
This article looks at how developments in technology from ABB are helping to tackle the issue of keeping track of gas leaks.
Peoples Gas, the natural gas provider for Chicago, has cut methane emissions while boosting gas pipeline safety with innovative leak detection thanks to ABB’s innovative gas leak detection and quantification system.
Borophene, the lightest 2D metal we know of, has until recently not been widely applied in semiconductor devices. However, new research reveals that pristine hydrogenated borophene (B8H4) can be used as a semiconductor in high-performance, miniaturized electronic devices.

There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil microorganisms. Genecis produces biodegradable polymers called PHA or PHBV (poly hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxy valerate).
