Microbes found to destroy certain 'forever chemicals'
The subject of 'so called' forever chemicals hit the headlines from time to time, new research indicates that microbes can perhaps play a part in how to deal with these, other than trying to not produce them in the first place of course.
I have had another go at growing salt crystals. This time I dissolved a quantity of pure Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in to water using a conical flask, then poured this solution in to a glass dish and left for about 2/3 weeks.
Eventually all the water evaporated away, leaving crystals behind. Using my USB microscope, I found and took a picture of some that had grown in to a nice cube shape.
Update 29/7/2023
I have taken another photo using the USB Microscope and also included the calibration / measurement sheet in the photo to try and illustrate crystal size.
Something else found on the Fediverse. This was posted by Science Alert. The links should work from here too, if not you will need an account on a Mastodon instance. So lots of interesting things happening
