Oct. 21, 2022 Ever wonder what happens to the rubber tread that wears off a vehicle's tires? New modelling suggests an increasing amount of microplastics -- fragments from tires and roadways -- are ending up ...
Mar. 29, 2021 Scientists optimize a process to turn rubber from discarded tires into soluble graphene for composite materials, including cement in more environmentally friendly ...
Mar. 1, 2022 Small particles from tires inhibited the growth and caused adverse behavioral changes in organisms found in freshwater and coastal estuary ecosystems, two new research papers ...
May 12, 2022 Engineers have produced a video simulation to illustrate the complex aerodynamics around a moving car and its ...
Sep. 5, 2023 Urban stormwater particles from tire wear were the most prevalent microplastic a new study has found. The study showed that in stormwater runoff during rain approximately 19 out of every 20 ...
Sep. 6, 2023 As drinking water flows through pipes and into a glass, it runs against the rubber seals inside some plumbing devices. These parts contain additives that contribute to their flexibility and ...
June 12, 2023 Two major ridesharing companies have promised all-electric fleets by 2030 in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint. To understand additional impacts of this transition, researchers conducted ...
May 18, 2021 A recent project has revealed innovative methods that could dramatically improve the performance of future electrical vehicles ...
July 8, 2022 A new study, which demonstrates that even the most rural areas of Australia are feasible for electric vehicles, provides new hope for how the technology could be spread around the most secluded ...
June 22, 2023 Chemists discovered a new way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, they could increase the materials' resistance to ...
