Bloodied and victorious. Raw masculinity.

New polymer design breaks the tradeoff between toughness and recyclability

Plastics underpin much of modern life—areas like medicine, technology, and food safety would be unrecognizable without plastics and their useful properties. However, the toughness of plastics, which is often desirable, also makes them a dangerous pollutant and difficult to recycle. The solution to this serious and growing problem is making plastics easier to recycle. In a study published in Chemical Science, researchers at Osaka University have found a way to make tough, high-performance polymers, the main component of plastics, that can be broken down easily and precisely into their component parts and recycled into materials that are like new. The main component of plastics are molecules called polymers, which are long chains of small repeating units called monomers. Current physical recycling simply reuses the polymers without breaking them down, and the recycled plastic is usually worse than the original.

The Strongest Steel From A Dumpster Fire

I found this on the Facebook and it is so very true. We all have dumpster fire days. Those are the times that show us the metal we are made of. Fire burns but it also purifies and strengthens things. What do you think of the message of this patch?

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

Uncrackable: Scorpions and sponges inspire sustainable design

Humans are by no means alone in the search for more sustainable materials. Nature, too, has been "working" on the problem of sustainability, and it's been at it for a great deal longer. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science show how design tricks employed by ancient creatures such as scorpions and sponges can help optimize the resilience of human-made materials, ultimately advancing sustainable design. "In the natural world, materials have evolved over millions of years, in environments that are often defined by limited resources and harsh conditions," says Prof. Daniel Wagner of Weizmann's Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science Department, who has been studying the mechanical aspects of natural materials for several decades. "Our point of departure was an intuition that biological structures around us—trees, plants, bones, skeletons of various organisms—developed in a way that is, by definition, sustainable."
