Engineers at the University of Washington have designed a reactor that can completely destroy PFAS forever chemicals. The technology could help treat chemicals at manufacturing sites before they can leak out into the natural environment.Continue Readin… Continue reading Reactor uses supercritical water to destroy PFAS “forever chemicals”
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have reported the development of a microneedle patch that can be self-administered and painlessly deposit a tattoo onto skin within minutes. The technology is initially proposed for simple medical or an… Continue reading New do-it-yourself microneedle tattoos are painless, quick and cheap
