It might seem unfathomable, but that mind-boggling max age for the universe is far lower than the previously predicted 10 ...

A global survey of microplastics in oceans reveals that tiny particles of plastic are prevalent throughout the water column, which could harm marine ecosystems and affect carbon storage in the deep se ...

If you've ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you've witnessed nature's remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists ...

When particles formed free-floating clusters, the edge flow caused the whole cluster to spin like a tiny wheel. But when the particles formed larger sheets with voids, the edges still had movement ...

Agricultural soil contains 23 times more microplastics than oceans, contaminating crops and threatening human health.

Nanoplastics are everywhere. These fragments are so tiny they can accumulate on bacteria and be taken up by plant roots; they ...

A new analysis found that ingesting plastic can disrupt proteins that facilitate key functions in seabirds—the latest in a ...

Nail dust from acrylic manicures is actually microplastics, and yes, you’re breathing that in. If you’ve ever watched a nail tech shave down acrylics, you’ve seen it: that cloudy dust swirling in the ...

The capacity is next-to-nothing: just 0.08L. However, Dyson has introduced a dust compression system, which uses air to ...

During a visual inspection of control samples, particles described as either crystal-like, white floating matter, or precipitates, were observed. White floating matter and crystal-like particles ...
