MXene-supported ruthenium catalyst accelerates upcycling of plastics
Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris known as microplastics persist in soil, water and air and threaten ecosystems and human health.

When Congress drags its feet on farm policy, it’s not “politics as usual.” It’s higher grocery prices. It’s family farms going under. It’s kids going hungry because SNAP benefits were cut. Working Americans deserve better and that’s what I am fighting for in Congress.

Did anyone notice how RFKjr has a fascy fight with neurodivergence that often ends up with nonsense that blames mothers? Apparently his new reveal might be that Tylenol (paracetamol) taken during pregnancy causes autism.🤦‍♀️ That nonsense has been debunked already, but RFKjr doesn't operate with facts.
