2 min read
Penn State researchers explore using tiny anthracite coal particles to recycle difficult plastics. The team uses laser light to generate heat at the molecular scale, breaking plastic bonds into reusable monomers. This approach aims to simplify recycling complex waste and create a new high-value use for Pennsylvania's abundant coal resource.
