Sunlight-Powered Catalyst Targets Toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’

An international team led by the University of Bath has created a low-cost, sunlight-driven catalyst that breaks down PFAS “forever chemicals” and could eventually help clean water and track pollution in real time.

Plant-Based Nanomaterial Offers Cleaner Way to Recover Rare Earths

Using a material derived from plants, Penn State researchers have developed a cleaner, more sustainable way to separate and recover dysprosium, a critical rare earth metal used in electronics, engines and clean energy technologies. The approach could help ease supply pressures and reduce the environmental toll of rare earth mining.
