Scientists have developed a process using discarded car battery acid and solar reactors to break down PET bottles and polyurethane foam into clean hydrogen. This chemical process transforms plastic waste and toxic acid into high-value organic chemicals for industries, providing a functional way to recycle complex materials while generating carbon-free fuel.

South Africa collaborates with international partners to find a domestic producer for the long-acting HIV prevention drug lenacapavir, aiming to lower costs and increase access in lower- and middle-income countries. At present, the drug is primarily supplied via donor-supported programs.
L’Afrique du Sud produira localement un traitement contre le VIH
Researchers have created a nanoelectronic device that uses switching currents about a million times lower than conventional designs, reducing energy use in AI hardware by up to 70%. Inspired by the human brain, it performs reliably across thousands of cycles and can store data for about a day, pointing to more efficient computing.
Un nanodispositif pourrait réduire de 70% l’énergie de l’IA
Two new studies suggest offshore wind farms can expand without putting migratory birds at major risk. Over 18 months, researchers tracked more than four million bird movements using radar and AI cameras and found that more than 99.8% reliably avoided turbine blades, showing clean energy and wildlife protection can work together.
Des études confirment que les oiseaux évitent les éoliennes
Researchers created an AR app that acts as a job coach for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, providing real-time guidance for complex tasks. Participants showed immediate, significant improvement, with all completing at least 90% of task steps correctly and independently.
