Most research on “forever chemicals” focuses on how best to remove them from the environment. But solutions to tricky problems often emerge from the most unexpected of places—as demonstrated by a new ...

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are notorious environmental villains. These compounds linger in ...

The pursuit to find new ways to create batteries more efficiently may have uncovered a way to deal with forever chemicals, which are considered some of the most persistent environmental pollutants on ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research on them focuses on removing them from the environment. Rice researcher ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago are riding the lithium surge with their high-voltage innovation. Inspired by failures that make chemicals degrade in lithium-metal batteries, Chibueze ...

On April 22, the Sanming Ecological Environment Bureau accepted and publicly noticed the construction project of "Fujian Sanming Runxiang New Material ...

Lithium fluoride (LiF) has long been recognised for its ability to host radiation-induced colour centres, which are point defects in the crystal lattice that absorb and emit light when excited. These ...

The development of lithium-7 fluoride production technology is seen as a key step in Russia for the proposed future molten salt reactors. (Image: Rosatom) There is currently no industrial production ...
