Tiny microplastic particles floating through city air stick to spiderwebs, giving researchers a natural way to capture and monitor this form of pollution. Particles seen emerging from empty space for ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The air we breathe every day is much more than a simple mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (and small amounts of other gases). Every day, we inhale ...

The scientists found that polymer type and particle size both affect a microplastic’s optical properties. But color plays the ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...
