Smart Materials: Detecting Danger and Cleaning Up

There's a big problem with certain chemicals. Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) and radioactive iodine can hurt people and the environment. Scientists are working hard to find ways to detect and clean up these harmful substances. They've created two special materials called HTAEA and HTMB. These are like super sponges that can sense and soak up dangerous chemicals. Ima...

Machine Learning Predicts NO Release in Nitroaromatics

Ever wondered how certain chemicals break down when hit by light? Scientists used a smart computer model to figure this out for nitroaromatic compounds. These compounds are known to release a gas called NO when they break down. The scientists used something called Gaussian process regression, a type of machine learning, to predict the energy surfaces of these compoun...
