How 'smart' hydrogel packaging tells you if your food is still fresh
By fixing a natural pigment onto a metal-organic framework, Kyushu University researchers developed a self-healing hydrogel that reliably signals spoilage through color change while extending food shelf life
Inter-filamentary diffuse gas flows replenish dense filaments and sustain gas accretion onto hubs, promoting massive star formation
Researchers reveal that diffuse gas surrounding dense filaments significantly contributes to the growth of star-forming hubs
Selective microwave heating speeds bamboo-to-hydrogen fuel conversion
Experiments reveal microwaves create localized hot spots on catalyst particles, boosting biomass conversion and paving the way for electrified, low-carbon chemical manufacturing
