Entanglement Entropies of Nuclear Systems Grow as the Volume of those Systems
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement between two subsystems. In many systems, the entanglement entropies increase as the area that separates them from their environment increases.

Newswise: Say Hello to Biodegradable Microplastics
Released: 21-Mar-2024 5:00 AM EDT
Say Hello to Biodegradable Microplastics
University of California San Diego

Finding viable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics and microplastics has never been more important. New research from scientists at UC San Diego and Algenesis shows that their plant-based polymers biodegrade — even at the microplastic level — in under seven months.

Newswise: Yeast Uses Plastic Waste Oils to Make High-Value Chemicals

Yeast Uses Plastic Waste Oils to Make High-Value Chemicals
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Polyolefins are resistant to breaking down, making them hard to recycle. Scientists have now discovered a yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, that uses hydrocarbons derived from polyolefin plastic wastes to produce substances that can be used to make biodegradable polyesters and polyurethanes.

Newswise: Recyclable Reagent and Sunlight Convert Carbon Monoxide into Methanol

Recyclable Reagent and Sunlight Convert Carbon Monoxide into Methanol
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC) have demonstrated the selective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol using a cascade reaction strategy.

Strengthening the Grid’s ​‘Backbone’ with Hydropower
Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne’s recent research points to hydropower’s great potential to complement the variability of wind and solar power — and ultimately serve as the backbone for a clean grid.

Newswise: Teasing Strange Matter from Ordinary
Released: 18-Mar-2024 4:05 PM EDT
Teasing Strange Matter from Ordinary
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Like protons and neutrons, Lambda particles consist of three quarks bound together by gluons. But unlike protons and neutrons, which contain a mixture of up and down quarks, Lambdas also contain a strange quark.
