Study shows: A new organic-inorganic bismuth material is significantly more sensitive than conventional X-ray detectors and can be produced in a green way using ball milling.
> New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability as X-ray detectors, significantly more sensitive than commercial X-ray detectors. In addition, these materials can be produced without solvents by ball milling, a mechanochemical synthesis process that is environmentally friendly and scalable. More sensitive detectors would allow for a reduction in the radiation exposure during X-ray examinations.

cave paint has some sun-blocking properties
For anyone curious about this, there's an article by the University of Michigan where the researcher (Raven Garvey) mentioned in OP's shared article is a professor and breaks down in details about it too. https://news.umich.edu/sunscreen-clothes-and-caves-may-have-helped-homo-sapiens-survive-41000-years-ago/
The substances behind the slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds could trap microplastics better than a commonly used synthetic polymer. Previously, researchers proposed using these sticky natural polymers to clean up water. Now, they report in ACS Omega that okra and/or fenugreek ...
