AI-based technique capable of determining the monomeric sequence of a polymer, for plastic recycling
The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed an AI-based mass spectrometric technique capable of determining the monomeric sequence of a polymer. This technique may be useful in gaining a deeper understanding of basic polymeric s.....»»
Ring camera privacy breaches see Amazon fined – but only $6M
Ring camera privacy has been under fire since 2019, with two separate issues leading to a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). That has now resulted in Ring owner Amazon being fined – but only $5.8M. The company was also fined $.....»»
Study finds familiarity promotes resident cooperation with volunteers in waste separation
Imagine when you take out leftover food and throw it away, and a volunteer in front of the bucket tells you to separate the waste. If you have two options, one is to do it by yourself, and the other is not to sort the waste or even to give it to the.....»»
