Unique manufacturing method produces more appealing vegan meat
Vegan food is often sidestepped due to its rubbery consistency. Food technology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a way to make vegan food more appetizing by using new combinations of raw materials. So far, the research fiel.....»»
New synthesis method uses light reaction on a water surface
By forming chemical bonds between atoms, complex molecules such as those needed for medicines, crop protection products, or high-performance materials are prepared using synthetic chemistry. Such synthesis reactions typically require organic solvents.....»»
Extraction of raw materials could rise 60% by 2060—and making mining "greener" won"t stop the damage
The United Nations' flagship Global Resources Outlook report is the portrait of a juggernaut. Due to be published later this month by the UN's International Resource Panel, it highlights how global consumption of raw materials, having increased four-.....»»
Altermagnetism experimentally demonstrated
Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism have long been known to scientists as two classes of magnetic order of materials. Back in 2019, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) postulated a third class of magnetism, called altermagnetis.....»»
Do AI-driven chemistry labs actually work? New metrics promise answers
The fields of chemistry and materials science are seeing a surge of interest in "self-driving labs," which make use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated systems to expedite research and discovery. Researchers are now proposing a suite of def.....»»
Brutalist Architecture: Characteristics, Influences, Ambassadors and Sights
Brutalist architecture emerged in the 1950s as a reaction against the lightness and decoration of 1930s modernism. Instead, brutalism focused on the authenticity of materials like concrete, emphasizing their raw, sculptural qualities. The term “.....»»
