Sorting plastics for recycling is notoriously difficult when materials look identical but possess chemically distinct dangers. By combining near-infrared scanning with a novel 'attention-based' neural network, researchers have achieved over 99% accuracy in distinguishing safe PET from hazardous variants.

Researchers have successfully combined experimental chemistry with multivariate linear regression to decode the rules of catalyst design. By identifying the critical role of the BINOL subunit's angle, this data-driven approach challenges existing theories and promises more precise control over synthetic materials.
