Pakistani research draws bioplastic from mango kernels

hazelnut mango

Dr Anjum Nawab, a Pakistani scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Karachi, announced yesterday that he had generated a bioplastic using the mango pit. The bioplastic obtained is easily degradable and does not pose any threat to the environment, marine and plant ecosystems. In an interview with a private national TV, Nawab said “Pakistan is at the top in the world for mango production, which is why my research had a conservative approach.

The reason? Carbon dioxide which upsets the stomach. A burst of sugars (about 9 teaspoons per can) or sweeteners (aspartame and acesulfame suspected of being carcinogenic). The dyes. A disaster, in short. And for … Read more

Sodium ion batteries, studies continue with a sweet discovery.

Na (Sodium)

Lithium, the main element in the composition of the batteries that power our devices (and also in the war against bipolar personality disorder) is not omnipresent on Earth: several countries are forced to import it from abroad, and this shortage leads to notable swings in the prices of technological devices: the signs of its future scarcity are already there in the ever-increasing price that quality batteries present to buyers. A group of researchers from Tokyo University led by Professor Shinichi Komaba may have… Read more
