Exciting new devices and materials powered by tiny nanomaterials are being developed to clean up South Africa’s polluted ...

Scientists map microplastics across ocean depths, revealing their deep spread, persistence, and potential climate impact.

Tiny pieces of plastic are an increasingly big problem. Known as microplastics, they originate from clothing, kitchen ...

During laboratory and field tests, the released particles were demonstrated to maneuver and harvest microplastics for up to ...

A Bumpers College team designed an experiment by lining four artificial streams with various streambed materials, growing algae on the bed's surface and measuring microplastic retention.

The liquid, which is made up of oil, water and magnetized particles,consistently separates into a form resembling a Grecian ...

High-speed image analysis using a pulsed light source with illumination times of less than 1 nanosecond cause the particles to be ... Applying dosing and dispersing units of modular design for ...

As waves break on the coastline, saltwater is sprayed into the air as particles. When those salt and water particles settle on metal surfaces, they can cause corrosion, which is why it’s common ...

because it can start to “get a bit dangerous with hot water” if it’s poured from too high up. The researchers first did tests using silica gel particles (to mimic the coffee grounds), a ...

The researchers found that hot exhaust encouraged ceria particles, one of the components ... but it contributed to improved dispersion and catalytic activity." The researchers, including those ...
