Nanoplastics (NPs) are being increasingly recognized as potential biological hazards, but their direct effects on molecular structure and cellular function remain poorly understood
Bettersize Instruments, proudly celebrated the opening of its new office with a grand inauguration ceremony.
Methanol fuel cells could help expand low-carbon energy systems by using liquid methanol that is easier to store, transport, and refuel than compressed hydrogen. The review shows that advances in catalysts, membranes, and system design are improving performance, but cost, durability, methanol crossover, and scale-up remain limiting factors for commercialization.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory incorporated gallium nitride semiconductors to create a high-efficiency power converter that is more compact, affordable and efficient.
Collaborative project leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and high performance computing to improve materials design for applications in aerospace, infrastructure and advanced manufacturing.
Grounded reconfigurable metamaterials preserved nearly identical displacement fields across rectangular, parallelogram, and random geometries, overcoming a key shape-performance trade-off in mechanical metamaterials. By combining transformation elasticity, grounded body torques, and Willis springs, the system enabled programmable deformation modes, including asymmetric tension without bending and tension-induced buckling.

Uncountable, the company behind a leading AI-powered platform for product development, announced the successful completion of its Unify Summit 2026, a two-day gathering of customers from some of the world’s most innovative companies.
Living bacteria embedded in coatings could clean wastewater, capture carbon and generate biofuels – but only if they survive the manufacturing process.
A new UK Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre report finds that demand for technology metals used in EVs, batteries, wind turbines, and solar PVs will rise sharply as the UK moves toward net zero.
Secondary supply from end-of-life technologies could become important after 2040, but the UK must invest in recycling, refining, and reverse supply chains to capture that value.
