Researchers investigate nanoplastics
June 1st, 2024
Particles of nanoplastics on the surface of the fleece fiber are visible under a scanning electron microscope. The particles detach during washing, so that after four washes, there are hardly any left. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) have taken the study of microplastics to the next level—nanoplastics. Empa […]
3D-printed seaweed polymer cleans up wastewater pollutants
January 1st, 2024
UC San Diego researchers have developed a “living material,” made of a seaweed-based polymer combined with genetically engineered bacteria, that could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to clean pollutants, such as textile dye, from water.
