Scientoon on Tyres can be recycled
Scientoon on Tyres can be recycled
A team of researchers from India and Germany has devised a
new process to retrieve almost all
different types of rubber from used and discarded vulcanised
scrap rubber. The process not only
reclaims a high amount of rubber but also is of superior
the quality which can be repurposed into
other products including making new tyres.

Scientoon on “99-Million-Year-Old Flower Beetle with Pollen Grains on Its Legs Found Encased in Amber”
Scientoon on “99-Million-Year-Old Flower Beetle with Pollen Grains on Its Legs Found Encased in Amber”
Insect pollination is a key
contributor to the rise of flowering plants. Both insects & flowering
plants were common during the mid-Cretaceous epoch, but physical evidence for
Cretaceous insect pollination of flowering plants was until now absent. An
international team of palaeontologists from the United States and China has now
found an ancient beetle with pollen grains still stuck to its legs trapped in a
99-million-year-old piece of Burmese amber.
Kindly find the attached scientoon
based on above research.
