Once used, they can be recycled– or as this paper charmingly puts it, become ore for “urban mining” techniques. The technique under discussion in the Chemical Engineering Journal is one that extracts metallic silver from e-waste using fatty acids and hydrogen peroxide.

    More than a thousand university students in the Netherlands must continue to travel to wash their clothes after their building management company failed to bring its borked smart laundry machines back online.

    The Spinozacampus laundry room, which caters to around 1,250 University of Amsterdam students, has remained closed since July after an unknown attacker tampered with all five machines' digital payment system, allowing residents to wash their clothes for free.

    The attack has still not been resolved. Management company Duwo kept the room open, allowing students to capitalize on the free washing services, for a few weeks, but now says it refuses to foot the bill.
