Connecting UV-Mediated Property Changes to Surface Cracking in Low-Density Polyethylene: Toward Understanding the Generation of Microplastic Pollution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)The vast production and disposal of synthetic polymers have led to widespread microplastic (MP) pollution. MPs are nominally defined as polymer-based particles with at least one size dimension in the 1 μm to 1 mm range. ... -
Complete and continuous methane pyrolysis to produce carbon construction materials and hydrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)Apart from being considered for prospective energy applications, hydrogen (H₂) today plays a pivotal role in growing food for the global population, serving as a key ingredient for ammonia-based fertilizers. However, ... -
Mechanisms of Solar-Thermal and Super Solar-Thermal Evaporation of Water
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)The phase change from liquid water to vapor is fundamentally important for many technologies, including electronic cooling, refrigeration, critical mineral harvesting, and desalination. Solar desalination uses solar energy ...
