Carbon-based Filter for PFAS Removal from Groundwater
Carbon-based Filter for PFAS Removal from Groundwater: A recent field-based study demonstrates that a specially engineered carbon material can be injected underground to trap and remove PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) from contaminated groundwater, offering a cost-effective, long-term remediation solution for polluted sites Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a large family of synthetic chemicals, […]
Altermagnetism in RuO₂
Altermagnetism in RuO₂: The Japanese researchers have experimentally confirmed ruthenium dioxide as an altermagnet, a third fundamental magnetic class distinct from ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Altermagnetism is recognised as the third fundamental class of magnetism, distinct from ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. In altermagnetic materials, magnetic moments alternate, but their arrangement follows complex symmetry operations such as rotation […]
