Decades-old ice in Northern and Southern Pole regions contain significant amounts of nanoscale plastic particles. Studying ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, scientists have identified several types of nanoplastic particles
Utrecht researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that takes an important step towards designing new materials more efficiently. Based on the desired characteristics of a material, the AI system determines which building blocks are needed to make such a material.
UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University give a mural of physicist Caroline Bleeker as a gift to the city of Utrecht to celebrate 385 years of science in Utrecht.
Researchers around the world have been diving into 2D materials such as graphene, which can be used to generate a multitude of material properties using only very little material Graphene is the best known 2D material, but not the most useful.
