A University at Buffalo study reveals that a strain isolated from contaminated soil can break down the strong carbon-fluorine ...

Researchers have identified a bacteria strain capable of breaking down and transforming some of the most stubborn forever ...

Pitcher, faucet, and fridge carbon filters are more accessible and cheaper than the other two options, but reverse osmosis ...

Forever chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have been around since the 1950s. They ...

“If bacteria survive in a harsh, polluted environment, it’s probably because they have adapted to use surrounding chemical ...

When PFAS were developed, companies found a huge number of ways to apply them to different products. But while they have ...

Bonus carbon fact: The carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is the most stable chemical bond known to exist. Credit: ExtremeTech Carbon normally has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus, giving it an ...

“The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong, so most microbes cannot use it as an energy source. The F11 bacterial strain developed the ability to chop away the fluorine and eat ...
