A 3D rendered image depicting a wastewater treatment plant with a futuristic, glowing pipeline leading to a clean water droplet and a green energy symbol, representing the transformation of sewage sludge into clean water and renewable energy.

From Sewage Sludge to Clean Water and Energy

An artistic rendering of a copper oxide crystal, with electrons moving diagonally through the cube-shaped structure. The crystal is bathed in sunlight, symbolizing its potential for solar energy conversion and clean hydrogen fuel generation.

Twisting Copper Oxide Crystals Boosts Sustainable Fuel Generation

Particle counts of petroleum-based (EVA) and plant-based (TPU-FC1) microplastics show that, over time, EVAs exhibit virtually no biodegradation, while the TPUs have mostly disappeared by day 200.

MIT chemical engineers devised a metal-organic coating that protects bacterial cells from damage without impeding their growth or function. These coated bacteria could make it much easier for farmers to deploy microbes as fertilizers. At left, the inset shows the components that create the protective shell of the microbes, as represented in the center inset by triangular formations.
