Molecular imaging uncovers growth media influence on biofilms’ EPS production [PDF]
Biofilm growth in a laboratory typically requires media rich with amino acids and other nutrients for bacterial metabolism. Microbial biofilms consist of clusters of planktonic cells grouping and secrete extracellular polymeric substance (EPS).

Functional Carbon Capsules Supporting Ruthenium Nanoclusters for Efficient Electrocatalytic 99TcO4−/ReO4− Removal from Acidic and Alkaline Nuclear Wastes [PDF]
The selective removal of the β‐emitting pertechnetate ion (99TcO4−) from nuclear waste streams is technically challenging. Herein, a practical approach is proposed for the selective removal of 99TcO4− (or its surrogate ReO4−) under extreme conditions of ...

Tracking Sensor Location by Video Analysis in Double-Shell Tank Inspections
Double-shell tanks (DSTs) are a critical part of the infrastructure for nuclear waste management at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hanford site. They are expected to be used for the interim storage of partially liquid nuclear waste until 2050, which is ...
