Clouds affect Earth's weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles could alter these processes. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

A 2024 study by the French NGO Agir pour l’Environnement found that repeatedly opening and closing plastic soda bottles significantly increased the number of microplastic particles in the beverages.

To track the course of inhaled microplastics and their even smaller counterparts, nanoplastics, the study authors constructed a detailed computer model of the human respiratory system from the nose to ...

Repetition is key in this boat laboratory. The research team begins the day by running water from different lake depths (surface level, five and 15 meters deep) through a submersible pump, which is ...
