26、k our addiction to paper. An estimated four billion trees are cut down every year to make paper or cardboard,an energy-consuming process with a vast environmental footprint.Now chemist Yadong Yin of the University of Califormia, Riverside, and his colleagues have developed“rewritable” paper that cou

The researchers coated conventional paper with nanoparticles of two chemicals: Prussian blue that gives blueprints their characteristic color, and titanium dioxide (二氧化钛），a substance used in sunscre

28、ens.UV light makes the titanium dioxide nanoparticles donate electrons(电子）to their Prussian blue neighbors, shifting its color from midnight blue to milky white. By shining that UV light through a transparent(透明的）screen marked with black text,the researchers “printed blue text on a white background.

29、 The text lasts about five days and then naturally fades away: “Every morning I could just push a button, and a printer would give me a fresh newspaper to read over breakfast,” Yin says.The paper can also be reset by heating and reused more than 80 times, a significant improvement over previous type
