The current use of plastics is not sustainable due to the tremendous amount of discarded plastic waste accumulating as debris in landfills, oceans and other natural habits across the world. Mechanical ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, recycling plastic has been a losing game — too slow, too expensive, and too limited in scope. Most methods rely on ...

The powerful software can reduce the time needed to simulate reactions with large molecules from weeks to just minutes.

Chris Stanton, Sara Horton and Sherri Zeller presented their findings from the 1999 course. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the revamped and retooled Chemical Engineering Design Project course ...

The volumes of plastic waste are staggering with over 90% of generated plastic ending up in a landfill, incinerator, or ocean. However, what if we could harness valuable carbons to make versatile ...

Programmable computers that use chemical reactions to process information could solve problems faster than conventional computers. And, they may better mimic the brain than their electronic ...

For decades, recycling plastic has been a losing game — too slow, too expensive, and too limited in scope. Most methods rely on high-heat extrusion and mechanical separation, degrading the material ...
