New Heavy Metal Molecule May Unveil Secrets of Nuclear Waste Processes

Waste Treatment /

Since its first synthesis in a post-WWII American lab in 1949, berkelium has stood out on the periodic table, defying quantum mechanics by adopting an extra positive charge that its relatives typically avoid. Now, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory—berkelium’s birthplace—have successfully bonded this elusive element with carbon, creating a rare organometallic complex. This breakthrough

E-waste into prototypes. Ilan Mandel, a robotics researcher and builder at Cornell University, found himself puzzled by a seemingly illogical situation: how could a brand-new hoverboard cost less than the individual parts needed to build it? This discrepancy led him to contemplate the challenges of designing and prototyping, where finished products are incredibly cheap, yet

Plastic Waste Shortage Could Hinder EU Targets

Space & Environment, Waste Treatment /

A lack of sorted plastic waste is negatively influencing the tasks of plastic recyclers across Europe, the association Plastic Recyclers Europe (PRE) has reported. The organization claimed that the lack of product was “unforeseen” as the EU has been registering a decline in waste exports over the previous few years. Influenced by the Chinese ban

An Electric Jolt Salvages Useful Metals From Waste

Space & Environment, Tech, Waste Treatment /

As chemists struggle to discover methods to reclaim important metals from industrial waste and disposed electronics, one group has discovered an answer that seems a little like magic: Zap the trash with flashes of electric heat. Rare earth elements (REEs) introduce an environmental paradox. On the one hand, these dozen or so metals, such as
