A new study from North Carolina State University finds that while shared e-scooters may be greener than most cars, they can be less green than several other options, including, in some cases, buses. These results were similar to those of a larger survey done by the city of Portland, Oregon. —Jeremiah Johnson.

Despite more than a century of study, the complete portrait of aqueous Al chemistry remains unclear. Studies of aqueous Al chemistry are notoriously difficult because of the variety and complexity of the species that can be formed, encompassing monomeric, oligomeric, and polymeric hydroxides; colloidal solutions and gels; and precipitates.
