Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. The study was published Monday in the Proceedings of ...

A team from Nanjing University have examined evidence from a number of scientific disciplines which, they say, suggests that ...

Size and shape are measures that greatly determine particulate behavior such as flowability, compaction, and mixing. Spherical particles are adequately characterized by size-only techniques. However, ...

The pandemic has made the world keenly aware that the biggest threats to public health often come in small packages. Individual virus particles, called virions, are too small to be seen without a high ...

In quantum mechanics, measuring both the position and speed of a particle at the same time is not possible. To identify a particle's characteristics, physicists introduced the notion of ...

Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. Most of them were nanoplastics — particles... Microscopic pieces of plastic are everywhere. Now, ...
