The research, presented at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society, suggests that a single piece of chewing gum could introduce as many as 3,000 microplastic particles into the saliva, ...

That's because plants absorb microplastics in water and soil through their roots, and the majority of these particles become concentrated in this part of the plant with only a tiny amount ...

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 ...

That’s a real blow, especially since a growing body of research suggests these tiny particles may pose a threat to our health, potentially even raising the risk of three chronic, harmful diseases.

Apr. 15, 2025 — First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic ...

According to one 2024 study, plastic cookware may contribute thousands of microplastic particles each year to homemade food. Old plastic kitchenware was the worst culprit, and the researchers also ...
