Some research into the properties of metals has yielded a potentially valuable method for turning plastic waste into hydrogen fuel.
A British team of scientists believe they have found a way to release hydrogen from plastic waste using tiny particles of iron as microwave magnifiers.
The research, if scalable, will potentially be used to combat the plastic waste problem currently engulfing the planet.
As Peter Edwards of Oxford University put it - “who would have imagined that the physics of turning a metal into an insulator would form the basis of chemistry helping the global plastic waste challenge?”
