Dark matter may be particles that just barely interact with regular matter. New results from the Majorana Collaboration, an international partnership, set new limits on the properties of dark matter. These findings pave the way for future experiments: energy.gov/science/np/articl…

Most plastics don't get recycled because it's usually easier & cheaper to make new ones than reclaim, sort and recycle existing ones. A new recycling process developed @ORNL could vastly reduce fossil fuel usage by making it easier & more energy efficient: ornl.gov/news/ornl-scientist…
