Photo-catalysis

Zero of 36 “widely recyclable” cups got recycled.
Stop calling this a recycling system. It is branded waste.

Why Starbucks’ cups are so hard to recycle Greenwashing covers up the broken recycling system in the US, nonprofit investigation shows

For years, science taught a neat, comfortable story about how smell is organized. Now detailed mapping shows the nose is far more structured than the textbooks claimed.
That is how real science works: not by defending old models, but by replacing them when better data arrives. Dogma is cheap. Evidence is not.

First detailed ‘smell maps’ reveal how noses track odours Detailed maps of smell receptors in the nose overturn textbook models of olfactory receptor organization in mice.

News from my group: A new sillenite photocatalyst is opening fresh paths for wastewater remediation.
My sincere congratulations to all authors, especially to you, Ahmed, for being "the catalyst" of this interesting scientific work.

Unraveling the photoelectrochemical properties of Bi₁₂NiO₁₉: a novel p-type photocatalyst for efficient visible-light-driven dye degradation AbstractThe growing concern over dye pollution and the need for efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalysts motivated this work to develop and evaluate a new bismuth-based oxide material. Bi₁₂NiO₁₉ was synthesized through a sol – gel technique employing citrate as a complexing...
