Researchers have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- commonly known as forever chemicals -- disrupt biomolecular structure ...

Like asbestos, PFAS were prized for industrial utility but are now linked to long-term, latent health risks. This complicates ...

Taken together, this suggests that distinct molecular structures within each type of PFAS drives changes in gene expression. “PFAS, despite sharing certain chemical characteristics, come in different ...

PFAS make up a comparatively small part of a modern battery. A battery’s positive terminal, called the cathode, uses a small amount of a PFAS chemical called polyvinylidene difluoride as a binder – a ...

PFAS (which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been in use since the 1940s, often to repel oil and water, and are heat resistant, which makes them popular for a wide variety of ...

Low molecular weight PFAS accumulate in groundwater and soil, ... Scientists uncover hidden bone structures in the skin of Australian monitor lizards. 12 hours ago.

A representation of the molecule's structure is used as input to a pretrained transformer, which interprets the molecular structure. The transformer creates a so-called “vector embedding ...

Water utilities and chemical companies are challenging a recent rule from the Environmental Protection Agency that limits some PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water. At least three ...
