Plastic Recycling Not Requiring Sorting Could Be Coming
New catalyst could make mixed plastic recycling a reality. The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less complicated, frustrating and tedious. In a new study, Northwestern University chemists have introduced a new plastic upcycling process that can drastically reduce — or perhaps even fully bypass — the laborious … [continued]

Hydrogen Mobility vs. Platinum Reality
Alstom’s hydrogen train experiment has hit the buffers again, with operators in Germany reverting to diesel because replacement fuel cells are not available. Only four of the 14 Cascadia trains Lower Saxony purchased are in operation. It is tempting to dismiss this as a simple supply chain hiccup, but the … [continued]

Collaboration Reveals How Light Unlocks Chemistry of Nickel Catalyst
A team of scientists across several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories has unraveled how light and a previously unknown form of certain nickel-based catalysts together unlock and preserve reactivity. This research, described in the journal Nature Communications, could potentially advance the use of abundant nickel in place of more expensive … [continued]
