ScienceIs there a way to stick hard and soft materials together without any tape, glue or epoxy? A new study published in ACS Central Science shows that applying a small voltage to certain objects forms chemical bonds that securely link the objects together. Reversing the direction of electron flow easily separates the two materials. This electroadhesion effect could help create biohybrid robots, improve biomedical implants and enable new battery techn…See the Story
You don't need glue to hold these materials together—just electricity

Artificial Intelligence · TurkmenistanMethane emissions in Turkmenistan increased in the years following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. One molecule of methane has more heat-trapping power than CO2, and its half-life in the atmosphere is just a decade. Methane is sometimes even burned, or flared, if it is not the main target of exploration.See the Story

ScienceResearchers provide evidence that traces of the widely used PFAS chemicals in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and thus with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The findings are based on data from more than 2,500 adults. PFAS were detectable in the blood of nearly all study participants.See the Story
