PFOS, also known as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds popular for several commercial applications, like making ...

Researchers have found that a common and inexpensive material—iron powder—can clean up dangerous “forever chemicals” from ...

This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder. If the surface area of a reactant is increased: more particles are exposed to the other reactant there are ...

The powder has several advantages over other materials, according to its creators. Its porous design increases its surface area, which means more places to hold on to CO2 molecules. As a result ...

This treatment changes its internal structure, reducing the size of its pores and increasing its surface area (1, 2). The resulting fine black powder is either sold as is or encapsulated as ...

They created carbon that has an astonishing surface area of 4,800 square meters per gram which, they say, is roughly equivalent to the size of a football field packed down neatly onto a teaspoon.
