Microplastics. We've found them in the Arctic sea and even frozen into the ice. The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of all our oceans, is polluted with plastic debris. Mount Everest has microplastic contamination. Our drinking water and food, especially processed foods in single-use packaging, are contaminated with microplastics. Recent studies have found microplastics in our blood, lungs, liver

Simple technique removes over 98% of nanoplastic particles from water
Posted by ArielTechGeek 199 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
once launched into the atmosphere, these dust particles can trap the heat escaping from the red planet and reflect sunlight toward its surface.
The post scientists say man-made ‘glitter’ particles can warm mars and make it habitable like earth appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
Cow's milk particles unlock one of medicine’s most challenging puzzles
Posted by ArielTechGeek 322 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
One of the biggest challenges researchers face is making injectable medicines into versions that can be taken orally. Oral medications usually fail because they can’t withstand the harsh environment of the gut, which leads to poor bioavailability - a drug’s ability to be absorbed and exert a therapeutic effect on the body.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: RNA, gene therapy, King&apo
Fundamental physics rule violated as same-charge particles attract
Posted by ArielTechGeek 375 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that under certain circumstances, particles can attract those of the same charge.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Chemistry, Particle physics, Electric, Oxford University, University of Ox
alongside glass and lacquered wood, rolls-royce’s arcadia coachbuild droptail features a raw-metal clock face in guilloché pattern that took 5 months to finish.
The post rolls-royce’s third coachbuild droptail ‘arcadia’ glistens with glass particles & raw-metal clock appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
“Zombie” COVID particles may be responsible for lethal disease
Posted by ArielTechGeek 402 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Following the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 there are now seven different coronaviruses known to infect humans. Four of those are associated with generally harmless common respiratory infections, but the other three (SARS, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS) are much more dangerous.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Coronavirus (COVID-19), The Immune System, Protein, Disease, UCLA
Virus-mimicking DNA particles deliver vaccine without immune side effects
Posted by ArielTechGeek 407 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
MIT researchers have delivered a type of vaccine called a particulate vaccine to mice using a virus-mimicking scaffold made from particles of DNA instead of the usual protein particles. It not only generated a robust immune response but avoided the off-target effects sometimes seen when proteins are used.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Vaccines, DNA, Protein, Coronavirus (COVID-19
Glowing particles help guide the process of soldering wounds closed
Posted by ArielTechGeek 422 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While sutures and staples suffice for closing most wounds, they can damage delicate tissue, plus they may allow fluids to leak out when applied to internal organs. Scientists have thus set about improving an alternative wound-closure method known as tissue soldering.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Empa, ETH Zurich, Wound
"Hairy" magnetic rust particles used to remove estrogen from water
Posted by ArielTechGeek 575 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Estrogen can harm aquatic plants and animals when passed into waterways via human and agricultural waste streams. Researchers have now developed a new way of removing the hormone from water, however, using what's known as "smart rust."Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Rust, Nanoparticles, Water, Pollution, Purification
"Acoustic holograms" quickly assemble objects from particles or cells
Posted by ArielTechGeek 760 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists have created “acoustic holograms” that can assemble matter into 3D objects, using just sound. The technique works with various types of particles and even living cells, allowing for a new kind of 3D printing that’s fast and contact-free.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Printing, TechnologyTags: Sound, Acoustics, Holographic, 3D, 3D Printing, molding, Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg Univer
