UK team uses 'nanomaterials' made from seaweed to create 'safer, greener, better' battery
Adapted from a UC–Berkeley press release Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine — the main component of Formica — chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks and possibly from vehicles. The process for synthesizing the melamine material, published this week in the journal Science Advances, could potentially be
