If plants can absorb nanoplastics through their roots, scientists worry what these plastic coverings may be doing to our food supply. Photo: Yann Schreiber (Getty) Nothing seems safe from the ...

"It has been known for many years that these black additives absorb light and release heat." Scientists develop sun-powered-solution that could help solve garbage problem: 'Simple, visible light ...

Such light is routinely employed to study the conformation of chiral biomolecules, such as proteins, DNA and amino acids, as they absorb left- and right-handed circularly polarized light differently, ...

The fungi would absorb the microplastics and form pellets, which can be removed much more easily than microscopic particles free floating in the water.

The widespread use of plastic has led to the proliferation of microplastics in various environments. In a new study, a team of researchers has found that birch trees can actually absorb ...

US study finds nanoplastics absorb heavy metal ions, could lead to severe health issues Researchers have revealed that nanoplastics synthesized from real-world plastic waste can readily adsorb ...

It takes 1,000 years for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. Unfortunately, the bags don't break down completely but instead photo-degrade, becoming microplastics that absorb toxins and continue ...

The material's ability to absorb terahertz radiation that can penetrate a lot of materials like plastic, clothing, paper, and some biological material makes it viable for applications like ...
