Scientists studied the Squid Galaxy, Messier 77, to determine how chemicals swirl around its shrouded central black hole.

Muhammad Rabnawaz, an associate professor in Michigan State University's School of Packaging, and his colleagues showed that sodium chloride—table salt—can outperform much more expensive materials being explored to help recycle plastics.

Scientists have produced an oxide glass with unprecedented toughness. Under high pressures and temperatures, they succeeded in paracrystallizing an aluminosilicate glass: The resulting crystal-like structures cause the glass to withstand very high stresses and are retained under ambient conditions.

Supercapacitors are charged like a battery but release their energy more rapidly – and some of their components can now be built from old plastic bottles

A South Dakota museum has closed after almost 40 years over concerns that the chemicals in its taxidermy collection could endanger visitors and staff, the affiliated zoo announced Thursday.

In the refrigerated grocery store aisle, meat alternatives greatly outnumber plant-based seafoods. But more mock seafood options are needed because of unsustainable fishing and aquaculture practices, which can deplete the supply and harm the environment.

A way to passively achieve cooling below ambient temperature, using non-toxic common chemicals. 40 minute video, but very informative.

NightHawkInLight develops and demonstrates organic paint he's created that can reflect infrared radiation into the sky very efficiently.
