The forest byproduct lignin can play a key role in new sustainable materials

Lignin, a by-product of the forest industry, can be used to produce sustainable materials that can replace traditional plastics. This has been revealed in a research project at the University of Borås in Sweden. Matilda Johansson, holder of a Ph.D. in Polymer Technology, has investigated how lignin can be chemically modified and used in fiber-reinforced biocomposites. The goal was to create materials that can not only replace oil-based products, but also reduce the weight of structures without compromising mechanical properties.

Machine learning approach leads to discovery of high-performance infrared functional materials

Infrared optoelectronic functional materials are essential for applications in lasers, photodetectors, and infrared imaging, forming the technological backbone of modern optoelectronics. Traditionally, the development of new infrared materials has relied heavily on trial-and-error experimental methods. However, these approaches can be inefficient within the extensive chemical landscape, as only a limited number of compounds can achieve a balance of several critical properties simultaneously.

The Indicator: American science brain drain : Short Wave

Today, we're airing an episode of NPR's daily economics podcast, The Indicator from Planet Money. It's about a group of people we know well: scientists. President Trump's federal cuts and scrutiny of academic institutions are forcing some U.S. scientists to head for the border. On today's show, an entomologist keeping America's farms safe from pests reconsiders America. And a CEO of a Canadian hospital explains how they are benefiting from the exodus.

Practical new tool detects nanoplastics and microplastics in the environment

A team of McGill University researchers has developed a cost-effective, high-throughput technology for detecting nanoplastics and microplastics in the environment.
The article from phys.org, published on May 15, 2025, discusses a new tool developed by researchers to detect and quantify nanoplastics and microplastics in environmental samples. This innovative method uses advanced spectroscopy and machine learning algorithms to identify plastic particles as small as 20 nanometers, significantly improving upon existing techniques that could only detect particles down to 1 micrometer. The tool has been successfully tested in various environmental matrices, including water, soil, and air, demonstrating its versatility and potential to enhance our understanding of plastic pollution's impact on ecosystems. The development of this technology is seen as a crucial step forward in environmental science, enabling more accurate monitoring and management of plastic contamination worldwide.
