Black plastic can’t be recycled – but we’ve just found a way to use the carbon in renewable energy
"Only a small proportion of the hundreds of types of plastics can be recycled by conventional technology. But there are other things we can do to reuse plastics after they’ve served their original purpose. My research, for example, focuses on ...

Nanomaterial safety on a nano budget
Barron said it took lab members time to learn to use the protocol efficiently, "but now they can get their samples in 5 to 10 minutes." He's sure other labs can and will enhance the technique for their own circumstances. ...
