Ultrasound is not a form of radiation. It is sound waves, nothing more. Glaring mistakes in basic science like this throw doubt on the veracity of the rest of the article.

I think you jumped the gun with your criticism there.
Ultrasonic Irradiation is a technique for chemical synthesis, used especially in organic chemistry. It’s a relatively new technique so older folks such as us may not have read about it during our days of studying organic chemistry.

Yep, we don't need them.
I'm actually quite happy with my cast iron skillets.

That was my first reaction too but it seems that I am also too old to understand.
Sounds like something from a horror or sci-fi film.
I have a friend from North Carolina and he is a little strange, now I know why.

Thanks for the heads up, EvilBuddha.
Now I'm not sure which is more scary, PFAS or Ultrasonic Irradiation.

One very important thing to get home from the report is that there is value in checking things, even if they would seem as terribly obvious and it would be tempting to think they have been tried before by someone else. As in this case it may not be the case and you can make a huge contribution about the useful properties of things as common as DMSO and sodium hydroxide.
