Natural Plant Extract Removes up to 90% of Microplastics From Water
Researchers found that natural polymers derived from okra and fenugreek are highly effective at removing microplastics from water.
The same sticky substances that make okra slimy and give fenugreek its gel-like texture could help clean our water in a big way. Scientists have discovered that these natural plant extracts are surprisingly good at trapping microplastics, tiny plastic particles that pollute oceans, rivers, and even our drinking water.
In fact, researchers found that extracts from okra and fenugreek can remove up to 90 percent of microplastics from ocean water, freshwater, and groundwater. These results were recently published in the journal ACS Omega.
Rajani Srinivasan and her research team have been searching for safe, plant-based ways to remove pollutants from water. In earlier lab experiments, they tested extracts from okra, fenugreek, and tamarind. They found that these natural polymers grab onto microplastics, causing them to clump together and sink to the bottom, making it much easier to separate the plastics from the water...
One gram of either powder in a quart (one liter) of water trapped microplastics the most effectively.
Dried okra and fenugreek extracts removed 67% and 93%, respectively, of the plastic in an hour.
A mixture of equal parts okra and fenugreek powder reached maximum removal efficiency (70%) within 30 minutes.
The natural polymers performed significantly better than the synthetic, commercially available polyacrylamide polymer used in wastewater treatment.

Scientists split water molecules for green hydrogen using only solar energy
The method solely relies on solar energy and earth-abundant materials.
...The development has been announced by scientists from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, India. It is an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST)...
The Indian research team has designed a silicon-based photoanode using an innovative n-i-p heterojunction architecture, consisting of stacked n-type TiO2, intrinsic (undoped) Si, and p-type NiO semiconductor layers, which work together to enhance charge separation and transport efficiency.
The materials were deposited using magnetron sputtering, a scalable and industry-ready technique that ensures precision and efficiency.
This approach allowed better light absorption, faster charge transport, and reduced recombination loss, key ingredients for efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion, according to a release by the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology.
The Ministry said that the device achieved an excellent surface photovoltage of 600 mV and a low onset potential of around 0.11 VRHE, making it highly effective at generating hydrogen under solar energy.
It further showcased long-term stability, operating continuously for over 10 hours in alkaline conditions with only a 4 percent performance drop. The press release describes it as a rare feat in Si-based photoelectrochemical systems.

Photon-powered alchemy: How light is rewriting fossil fuel chemistry
The system is effective even at room temperatures offering many potential benefits.
...The work is led at CSU by professors Garret Miyake and Robert Paton from the Department of Chemistry and the Center for Sustainable Photoredox Catalysis (SuPRCat). Their system - inspired by photosynthesis - uses visible light to gently alter the properties of chemical compounds. It does this by exposing them to two separate photons (light particles) to generate energy needed for the desired reactions. A single photon does not normally carry enough energy for these processes, said Miyake. By combining energy from two light particles, the team's system can perform super-reducing reactions - chemical changes that require a lot of energy to break tough bonds or add electrons - easily....

Efficient super-reducing organic photoredox catalysis with proton-coupled electron transfer mitigated back electron transfer
Amreen K. Bains, et al
Photoredox catalysis driven by visible light has improved chemical synthesis by enabling milder reaction conditions and unlocking distinct reaction mechanisms. Despite the transformative impact, visible-light photoredox catalysis remains constrained by the thermodynamic limits of photon energy and inefficiencies arising from unproductive back electron transfer, both of which become particularly pronounced in thermodynamically demanding reactions. In this work, we introduce an organic photoredox catalyst system that overcomes these obstacles to drive chemical transformations that require super-reducing capabilities. This advancement is accomplished by coupling the energy of two photons into a single chemical reduction, whereas inefficiencies from back electron transfer are mitigated through a distinct proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism embedded in the catalyst design. The super-reducing capabilities of this organic catalyst system are demonstrated through efficient application in a broad scope of challenging arene reductions.

Bulk electricity storage in 1-nm water channels
Vasily Artemov, et al
Nanometer-scale solid-state confinement has been shown to change water's structure and dynamics, offering new horizons in energy storage. However, most current materials operate at the micrometer scale, missing the interfacial effects that occur at three orders of magnitude smaller dimensions. Here, we report a scalable energy storage device that uses ultraconfined water as its sole electrolyte, unlocking the advantages of nanoscale confinement. We use the polarizability and proton 'superconductivity' of water confined in few-molecular-diameters clay channels to build an all-water supercapacitor. The device fabricated from reconstructed clay, graphene, and water by a sustainable self-assembly process, operates at voltages up to 1.65 V, has competitive power and energy density, and maintains near 100% Coulombic efficiency over 60,000 charge-discharge cycles. These results demonstrate the application of unique properties of ultraconfined water for sustainable energy storage and provide a benchmark for a class of novel ultraconfined water energy systems, or 'blue devices'.

World’s first biodegradable cooling film drops energy use by 20% without electricity
It combines high solar reflectance, low thermal conductivity, and biodegradability for cooling buildings, vehicles, farms, and even medical applications.
...scientists from Zhengzhou University and the University of South Australia (UniSA) has developed a biodegradable cooling film that can passively reduce surface temperatures by as much as 9.2°C without any electricity.
The breakthrough could help cut energy use by more than 20 percent in some of the world’s hottest cities.
The film reflects nearly all solar radiation and allows internal heat to escape directly into space...
UniSA PhD candidate Yangzhe Hou... co-developed the material and is also affiliated with Zhengzhou University, called the metafilm...
The metafilm is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable plastic derived from plant sources such as corn or sugarcane. Using a low-temperature separation technique, the researchers created a porous, bi-continuous structure that reflects 98.7 percent of sunlight. The resulting cooling effect reached a peak of 9.2°C during midday sun, with consistent average drops of 4.9°C in the daytime and 5.1°C at night.
During performance testing, the film demonstrated cooling power up to 136 watts per square meter under direct sunlight. It also exhibited ultra-low thermal conductivity, just 0.049 W/m·K, thanks to its 84.6 percent porosity...
The material continued to deliver cooling effects of up to 6.5°C below ambient temperature...
The film’s robustness comes from its internal structure, particularly its 29.7 percent stereocomplex crystal content...

A structural bioplastic metafilm for durable passive radiative cooling
Yangzhe Hou1, et al
Enhanced optical properties while fully preserving the metafilm’s complete degradability. Tuned crystallization and pore formation to reveal self-assembly of the microstructure. Achieved low thermal conductivity of 0.049 W m−1 K−1 and up to 9.2°C cooling under daytime. Maintained 5°C–6.5°C cooling after acid exposure and 8-month-equivalent aging.
Bio-derived radiative coolers offer a sustainable alternative to petrochemical materials but struggle with long-term stability. Here, we report a bioplastic cooling metafilm with a bi-continuous architecture engineered through crystallization modulation. The metafilm achieves high solar reflectance (98.7%), exceptional thermal emittance (96.6%), and ultra-low thermal conductivity (0.049 W m−1 K−1). It provides a maximum sub-ambient cooling of ∼9.2°C at midday, with an average cooling power of 136 W m−2 under peak solar intensity (944.9 W m−2). Notably, it sustains a stable cooling of 5°C–6.5°C even when subjected to severe conditions like prolonged acid (pH 1, 120 h) and ultraviolet (UV; ∼8 months) exposure. This work offers a new strategy for designing sustainable, durable, and energy-efficient cooling materials through structural innovation.

Featherlight nanomaterial pulls clean drinking water from air, absorbs 3x its weight
Engineered with supercharged hydrogen bonds, this nanomaterial pulls water from the air and releases it with just mild heat.
An international team of researchers led by Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov and Professor Rakesh Joshi has developed a groundbreaking nanomaterial capable of harvesting clean drinking water from vapors in the atmosphere with unprecedented efficiency.
Light as a feather and supercharged with water-absorbing power, the material can soak up more than three times its weight in water ...
Built from graphene oxide, a well-known, single-atom-thick carbon sheet laced with oxygen-containing groups, the new nanomaterial can attract water molecules, thanks to its surface chemistry.
Calcium also has strong water-adsorbing properties. To explore how the two materials might work together, the researchers intercalated calcium ions (Ca²⁺) into the graphene oxide structure.
Both calcium and graphene oxide independently form strong hydrogen bonds with water, a key factor in effective atmospheric adsorption.
But when combined, the interaction between calcium and oxygen altered the hydrogen bonding network, significantly strengthening the bonds and allowing the material to absorb much more water than either component could alone.
“We measured the amount of water adsorbed onto graphene oxide by itself and we measured X. We measured the amount of water adsorbed onto calcium itself and we got Y. When we measured the amount of water adsorbed onto the calcium-intercalated graphene oxide we got much more than X+Y. Or it is like 1+1 equals a number larger than 2,” said Xiaojun (Carlos) Ren, UNSW School of Materials Science and Engineering, and first author on the paper...
“The only energy this system requires is the small amount needed to heat the system to about 50 degrees to release the water from the aerogel,” says Prof Daria Andreeva, a co-author of the paper.

Graphene just unlocked “impossible” quantum currents without magnets
Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more energy-efficient alternative to electronics... By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a powerful quantum effect that allows electrons to carry information through their spins alone. ..
The scientists from the Van der Zant lab were able to bypass the need for external fields by layering the graphene on top of a magnetic material: CrPS₄. This magnetic layer significantly altered the graphene's electronic properties, giving rise to the QSH effect in graphene. Ghiasi: "We observed that the spin transport in graphene gets modified by the neighboring CrPS4 such that the flow of electrons in graphene becomes dependent on the electrons' spin direction."...

Scientists split water molecules for green hydrogen using only solar energy
The method solely relies on solar energy and earth-abundant materials.
...The development has been announced by scientists from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, India. It is an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST)...
The Indian research team has designed a silicon-based photoanode using an innovative n-i-p heterojunction architecture, consisting of stacked n-type TiO2, intrinsic (undoped) Si, and p-type NiO semiconductor layers, which work together to enhance charge separation and transport efficiency.
The materials were deposited using magnetron sputtering, a scalable and industry-ready technique that ensures precision and efficiency.
This approach allowed better light absorption, faster charge transport, and reduced recombination loss, key ingredients for efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion, according to a release by the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology.
The Ministry said that the device achieved an excellent surface photovoltage of 600 mV and a low onset potential of around 0.11 VRHE, making it highly effective at generating hydrogen under solar energy.
It further showcased long-term stability, operating continuously for over 10 hours in alkaline conditions with only a 4 percent performance drop. The press release describes it as a rare feat in Si-based photoelectrochemical systems.

Photon-powered alchemy: How light is rewriting fossil fuel chemistry
The system is effective even at room temperatures offering many potential benefits.
...The work is led at CSU by professors Garret Miyake and Robert Paton from the Department of Chemistry and the Center for Sustainable Photoredox Catalysis (SuPRCat). Their system - inspired by photosynthesis - uses visible light to gently alter the properties of chemical compounds. It does this by exposing them to two separate photons (light particles) to generate energy needed for the desired reactions. A single photon does not normally carry enough energy for these processes, said Miyake. By combining energy from two light particles, the team's system can perform super-reducing reactions - chemical changes that require a lot of energy to break tough bonds or add electrons - easily....

Efficient super-reducing organic photoredox catalysis with proton-coupled electron transfer mitigated back electron transfer
Amreen K. Bains, et al
Photoredox catalysis driven by visible light has improved chemical synthesis by enabling milder reaction conditions and unlocking distinct reaction mechanisms. Despite the transformative impact, visible-light photoredox catalysis remains constrained by the thermodynamic limits of photon energy and inefficiencies arising from unproductive back electron transfer, both of which become particularly pronounced in thermodynamically demanding reactions. In this work, we introduce an organic photoredox catalyst system that overcomes these obstacles to drive chemical transformations that require super-reducing capabilities. This advancement is accomplished by coupling the energy of two photons into a single chemical reduction, whereas inefficiencies from back electron transfer are mitigated through a distinct proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism embedded in the catalyst design. The super-reducing capabilities of this organic catalyst system are demonstrated through efficient application in a broad scope of challenging arene reductions.

Bulk electricity storage in 1-nm water channels
Vasily Artemov, et al
Nanometer-scale solid-state confinement has been shown to change water's structure and dynamics, offering new horizons in energy storage. However, most current materials operate at the micrometer scale, missing the interfacial effects that occur at three orders of magnitude smaller dimensions. Here, we report a scalable energy storage device that uses ultraconfined water as its sole electrolyte, unlocking the advantages of nanoscale confinement. We use the polarizability and proton 'superconductivity' of water confined in few-molecular-diameters clay channels to build an all-water supercapacitor. The device fabricated from reconstructed clay, graphene, and water by a sustainable self-assembly process, operates at voltages up to 1.65 V, has competitive power and energy density, and maintains near 100% Coulombic efficiency over 60,000 charge-discharge cycles. These results demonstrate the application of unique properties of ultraconfined water for sustainable energy storage and provide a benchmark for a class of novel ultraconfined water energy systems, or 'blue devices'.

World’s first biodegradable cooling film drops energy use by 20% without electricity
It combines high solar reflectance, low thermal conductivity, and biodegradability for cooling buildings, vehicles, farms, and even medical applications.
...scientists from Zhengzhou University and the University of South Australia (UniSA) has developed a biodegradable cooling film that can passively reduce surface temperatures by as much as 9.2°C without any electricity.
The breakthrough could help cut energy use by more than 20 percent in some of the world’s hottest cities.
The film reflects nearly all solar radiation and allows internal heat to escape directly into space...
UniSA PhD candidate Yangzhe Hou... co-developed the material and is also affiliated with Zhengzhou University, called the metafilm...
The metafilm is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable plastic derived from plant sources such as corn or sugarcane. Using a low-temperature separation technique, the researchers created a porous, bi-continuous structure that reflects 98.7 percent of sunlight. The resulting cooling effect reached a peak of 9.2°C during midday sun, with consistent average drops of 4.9°C in the daytime and 5.1°C at night.
During performance testing, the film demonstrated cooling power up to 136 watts per square meter under direct sunlight. It also exhibited ultra-low thermal conductivity, just 0.049 W/m·K, thanks to its 84.6 percent porosity...
The material continued to deliver cooling effects of up to 6.5°C below ambient temperature...
The film’s robustness comes from its internal structure, particularly its 29.7 percent stereocomplex crystal content...

A structural bioplastic metafilm for durable passive radiative cooling
Yangzhe Hou1, et al
Enhanced optical properties while fully preserving the metafilm’s complete degradability. Tuned crystallization and pore formation to reveal self-assembly of the microstructure. Achieved low thermal conductivity of 0.049 W m−1 K−1 and up to 9.2°C cooling under daytime. Maintained 5°C–6.5°C cooling after acid exposure and 8-month-equivalent aging.
Bio-derived radiative coolers offer a sustainable alternative to petrochemical materials but struggle with long-term stability. Here, we report a bioplastic cooling metafilm with a bi-continuous architecture engineered through crystallization modulation. The metafilm achieves high solar reflectance (98.7%), exceptional thermal emittance (96.6%), and ultra-low thermal conductivity (0.049 W m−1 K−1). It provides a maximum sub-ambient cooling of ∼9.2°C at midday, with an average cooling power of 136 W m−2 under peak solar intensity (944.9 W m−2). Notably, it sustains a stable cooling of 5°C–6.5°C even when subjected to severe conditions like prolonged acid (pH 1, 120 h) and ultraviolet (UV; ∼8 months) exposure. This work offers a new strategy for designing sustainable, durable, and energy-efficient cooling materials through structural innovation.

Featherlight nanomaterial pulls clean drinking water from air, absorbs 3x its weight
Engineered with supercharged hydrogen bonds, this nanomaterial pulls water from the air and releases it with just mild heat.
An international team of researchers led by Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov and Professor Rakesh Joshi has developed a groundbreaking nanomaterial capable of harvesting clean drinking water from vapors in the atmosphere with unprecedented efficiency.
Light as a feather and supercharged with water-absorbing power, the material can soak up more than three times its weight in water ...
Built from graphene oxide, a well-known, single-atom-thick carbon sheet laced with oxygen-containing groups, the new nanomaterial can attract water molecules, thanks to its surface chemistry.
Calcium also has strong water-adsorbing properties. To explore how the two materials might work together, the researchers intercalated calcium ions (Ca²⁺) into the graphene oxide structure.
Both calcium and graphene oxide independently form strong hydrogen bonds with water, a key factor in effective atmospheric adsorption.
But when combined, the interaction between calcium and oxygen altered the hydrogen bonding network, significantly strengthening the bonds and allowing the material to absorb much more water than either component could alone.
“We measured the amount of water adsorbed onto graphene oxide by itself and we measured X. We measured the amount of water adsorbed onto calcium itself and we got Y. When we measured the amount of water adsorbed onto the calcium-intercalated graphene oxide we got much more than X+Y. Or it is like 1+1 equals a number larger than 2,” said Xiaojun (Carlos) Ren, UNSW School of Materials Science and Engineering, and first author on the paper...
“The only energy this system requires is the small amount needed to heat the system to about 50 degrees to release the water from the aerogel,” says Prof Daria Andreeva, a co-author of the paper.

Graphene just unlocked “impossible” quantum currents without magnets
Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more energy-efficient alternative to electronics... By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a powerful quantum effect that allows electrons to carry information through their spins alone. ..
The scientists from the Van der Zant lab were able to bypass the need for external fields by layering the graphene on top of a magnetic material: CrPS₄. This magnetic layer significantly altered the graphene's electronic properties, giving rise to the QSH effect in graphene. Ghiasi: "We observed that the spin transport in graphene gets modified by the neighboring CrPS4 such that the flow of electrons in graphene becomes dependent on the electrons' spin direction."...
