Plastics revolutionized medicine. But what we once saw as miraculous has now become a silent threat—one we can no longer ...

While toilet bowls are designed such that the contents are supposed to flush downward, scientists have known for decades that ...

How tiny plastic particles enter the atmosphere is an important question, as airborne microplastics are a potential health threat. Using a global chemical transport model, researchers have provided ...

Now a new term is gaining attention: nanoplastics. These particles are even tinier than microplastics – so small that they’re invisible to the naked eye. Nanoplastics are a type of ...

New research found that wax melts, considered safer for air quality than candles, actually release as many air pollutants as ...

"We would like to understand the difference between these systems, which holds the clue to understand just how many cosmic rays are produced in the jets of microquasars." ...

This adaptability makes the sensor more robust to fabrication imperfections and enhances its capability to detect extremely small particles. Key features of the new sensor include ...
