[SusRes Chem CDT UoN/NTU @susresCDT]

Probably the best #TogetherForOurPlanet workday in the world...
Making materials from plants🌿
Designing #sustainable batteries with increased energy capacity 🔋
Improving the impact of vehicles on the environment🚗
Tackling the #plastic waste problem 🌍

How can we make the manufacture of chemicals cleaner and greener?
We're taking a leaf out of nature's book and making materials from plants using light, air and some dye.🌿🌍🧪☀️

By 2040 around 70% of cars will be electric🚗⚡️but that still leaves 900 million petrol engines on the road globally. Fuel additives help improve their impact on the #environment

Bacteria with attitude! #Deinococcusradiodurans #Labvent

[UoNSPT @UoNSPT]

We all know that radioactivity has the ability to create superheroes, but some bacteria can resist it's powers. Phil tells us how! Thanks to @BBC6Music for the lab soundtrack today. We forgot to turn the radio down 🙁
