Researchers have developed a one-step process that converts existing plastics into a new material that degrades significantly faster. The method replaces oxygen atoms with sulfur in the plastic's structure, weakening its molecular bonds. Published in Chem Circularity, the process is described as easily scalable to industrial quantities.

Mga siyentipiko ng Edinburgh ay ginagawang mas mabilis na nasisira ang mga plastic na food packaging

NEW FOOD MAGAZINE

Ang mga mananaliksik ng University of Edinburgh at isang German na unibersidad ay bumuo ng isang hakbang na proseso na nagko-convert ng mga umiiral na plastik — kabilang ang food packaging — sa isang bagong materyales na mas mabilis na nasisira. Pinapalitan ng pamamaraan ang mga oxygen atom ng sulfur sa istruktura ng plastik, nagpapahina ng mga molecular bond. Inilathala sa Chem Circularity, ang proseso ay madaling mapalawak sa industriyal na dami.

As of this week, Togo — the small West African nation bordering Ghana, Benin, and Burkina Faso — grants visa-free entry to citizens of all African countries for up to 30 days. The government says it aims to position Togo as a regional hub for business, trade, and culture, joining Rwanda and other nations advancing continental free movement.

A Cornell University political scientist has statistically debunked two decades of influential U.S. research claiming politicians ignore ordinary voters. The flawed studies used selective data and triggered Simpson's paradox. The real gap in political influence, the new analysis finds, lies between the general public and the ultra-wealthy — not between middle- and upper-income groups.

We've told you about the satellite tagging study of 70 whale sharks in Indonesia that revealed previously unknown migration routes, feeding grounds, and a nursery — the data are now being used to establish the country's first whale shark-specific marine protected area in Saleh Bay, Sumbawa, as it's a permanent home, not a seasonal stop.

Team Repair, a British education company founded by Imperial College London engineers, has launched its first adult STEM kit — a dummy smartphone that guides users step-by-step through battery replacement, screen repair, and precision screwwork, without risking their real device. A survey found the biggest barrier to repair was fear of breaking their own phone.
