Turning Plastic Bags into High-Tech Materials

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130925102651.htm

University of Adelaide researchers have created a way of turning waste plastic bags into a high tech nanomaterial. By transforming the waste materials through the nanotechnological recycling, can help decrease the environmental pollution at the same time as producing high added value product. The idea of this process was by PhD student named Tariq Altahi. The process of producing the high tech nanomaterial is catalyst and solvent free, meaning that it can be used without generating poisonous. So far, the plastic bag that was recycled had been used in many industries like in electronics. sports equipment, batteries, sensing devices and wind turbines.

Where will it erupt? Yellow Stone Super Volcano

Geologist had predicted that Super Volcano will erupt at the center in 1/3 paraelle fault zones running north-northwest across the park. Guilaume Girard stated that small eruptions will occur more, but the major eruption will probably occur is less than one in ten thousands. Girard's team had study the titanium content of the lava flows and that it is risen very quickly from the magma chamber sone 4 to 7 miles deep.
