Chemists at UC Berkeley created a new catalytic process that turns plastic bags and bottles (polyolefins) into gases like propylene and isobutylene. These gases are used to make new plastics like polypropylene. The process uses cheap solid catalysts and can be scaled up for industrial use. This method helps recycle plastics better and supports a circular economy by turning waste into new materials. 🔄♻️

Matter exists in different states:
● Solid – fixed shape and volume, particles tightly packed.
● Liquid – fixed volume, no fixed shape, particles slide past each other.
● Gas – no fixed shape or volume, particles far apart.
● Plasma – like gas but particles are charged.
● Glass – between solid and liquid, amorphous.
● Superfluid – liquid with no resistance near absolute zero.
● Bose-Einstein Condensate – particles act as one quantum entity.
● Fermionic Condensate – similar to Bose-Einstein but formed by fermions.
● Dropleton – quantum liquid of electrons and holes.
● Degenerate Matter – exists under extreme pressure inside stars or planets.

Matter changes state when energy is added or removed.

A red blood cell count measures how many red blood cells are in a tiny drop of your blood (one microliter).

Normal ranges:
- Men: 4.0 to 5.9 million cells per microliter
- Women: 3.8 to 5.2 million cells per microliter.

To help you picture it: a microliter is about the size of a small grain of sand.

Low counts may mean anemia. High counts may be from smoking or dehydration.

Neon tetra fish form orderly queues when escaping through narrow spaces to avoid bumping into each other. Scientists observed groups of these fish passing calmly through small openings without clogging. This behavior helps them evacuate efficiently, unlike humans and sheep who often push and cause jams in emergencies. The study may help improve traffic flow and robot swarm designs.
