The idea behind the new technology was a moon shot. Scientists develop remarkable method to battle emerging threat to world's ...

Colloids are particles that have a diameter of between approximately 1 and 1,000 nanometres and that are evenly dispersed in fluids. Colloids are also known as colloidal dispersions because the ...

These include chunks of floating plastic waste that break down ... which are in turn composed of multiple particles known as soft dendritic colloids. Such particles have a reputation for being ...

Soft dendritic colloids take the shape of small pellets ... bringing the captured plastic particles to the surface in a dense, scummy mixture," Hong said. The paper shows that the particles ...

This study presents a novel method using self-dispersing colloids to efficiently remove microplastics from water, enhancing eco-friendly cleanup technologies.
