Breakthrough offers endless recycling for acrylic plastics without the environmental cost

Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a breakthrough method for chemically recycling acrylic plastics using lower temperatures and sustainable solvents. The new process delivers over 95% conversion of the plastic and yields high-quality monomers, offering a clear pathway toward genuine circularity in acrylic materials.

Spitting cobras track first, predict later

Researchers discovered that spitting cobras initially track an aggressor's movement, but then switch to predicting where the victim will be 200ms in the future. The snakes use this information to fine-tune their venom spray and hit their target with accuracy.
