One of the most successful plastics is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the material we use to make bottles and fibers for clothing. However, PET is made from petroleum-based building blocks. An alternative to PET can be made from bio-based furan molecules, but to polymerize these furans you need toxic catalysts and high temperatures. Now, polymer chemists have described an enzyme-based polymerization method. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190130103744.htm

Engineers have now developed an algorithm that lets AUVs weigh the risks and potential rewards of exploring an unknown region. For instance, if a vehicle tasked with identifying underwater oil seeps approached a steep, rocky trench, the algorithm could assess the reward level (the probability that an oil seep exists near this trench), and the risk level (the probability of colliding with an obstacle), if it were to take a path through the trench. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190130133021.htm

Water molecules distort the electrical resistance of graphene, but a team of researchers has discovered that when this two-dimensional material is integrated with the metal of a circuit, contact resistance is not impaired by humidity. This finding will help to develop new sensors -- the interface between circuits and the real world -- with a significant cost reduction. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190130103815.htm

Rembrandt van Rijn's paintings are renowned for their masterful representations of light and shadow and a characteristic plasticity generated by a technique called impasto. Now, scientists have analyzed impasto layers in some of Rembrandt's paintings, and the study reveals that the impasto unexpectedly contains a very rare lead mineral called plumbonacrite. This finding suggests that Rembrandt used a unique paint recipe. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190130103807.htm

Structural colors, like those found in some butterflies' wings, birds' feathers and beetles' backs, resist fading because they don't absorb light like dyes and pigments. However, the iridescence that enhances their beauty in nature is not always desirable for some applications, such as paints, color displays or printer inks. Now, researchers have developed a new method to produce structural colors that don't change with the angle of viewing. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190130112709.htm
