It has been a rough couple of weeks.

One of my oldest dearest friends has cancer, and has been on a study that found an experimental treatment that HAS been working! Funding for the research has been pulled; medication has been pulled by this fucked up communist leader and his regime.
Medical research is stopping everywhere in this country, people are dying!
Don't wait till it hits home to wake up!

A new eco-friendly method for separating the #chemicals found in common #refrigerants for easier #recycling at industrial scale.

Botulinum toxin A1, better known under the brand name #Botox, is not only a popular cosmetic agent, but also a highly effective #bacterial #neurotoxin that – when carefully dosed – can be used as a drug. It blocks the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles

New #metasurfaces, ultra-thin materials made of tiny #nanoantennas that can both amplify and control light in very precise ways, could replace conventional refractive surfaces from #eyeglasses to #smartphone lenses and improve dynamic applications such as augmented reality/virtual reality and #LiDAR.

FDA recalls 2 million donut products over listeria danger!
Noooooo! Not doughnuts, anything but doughnuts.

A recent theory proposes that #whales weren’t just #predators in the #ocean #environment. #Nutrients that whales excreted may have provided a key #fertilizer to these #marine #ecosystems.

#Epoxy #resins are coatings and #adhesives used in a broad range of familiar applications, such as construction, #engineering and manufacturing. However, they often present a challenge to #recycle or dispose of responsibly.

Sorry about little being done yesterday, but I was busy #protesting the new regime in the USA.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding a #DEI page to support the achievements of so many that are being wiped out of the American history, those in #STEM.

Computer models reveal how human-driven #climate change will dramatically overhaul critical #nutrient cycles in the #ocean.

Almost all #hydrocarbons currently stem from fossil #fuels, but the method developed by the Cambridge-Berkeley team results in clean #chemicals and fuels made from CO2, water and glycerol – a common organic compound – without any additional carbon emissions.

Even though ‘glacial’ is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that #glaciers speed up and slow down on a daily – even hourly – basis in response to changes in air temperature, #rainfall and the #tides

Constructed #wetlands do a good job in their early years of capturing #carbon in the #environment that contributes to climate change – but that ability does diminish with time as the wetlands mature, a new study suggests.
