Traditional means farmers used to use for seed selection and preservation may help us cultivate more resilient food in a changing climate.
Applying an advanced light-scattering technique, scientists could quantify the microplastics released when plastic containers were heated.
The sensor could improve crop yield by detecting changes in plant chlorophyll levels earlier and more precisely than existing methods.
Magnetic iron nanoparticles shown to eliminate persistent water pollution, such as microplastics and oils.
By accurately detecting moisture levels, this artificial leaf sensor could help increase crop yields while reducing the need for pesticides.
From soil to the seed, nanoplastics were shown to accumulate in rice and peanuts with potential affects on crop yield and nutrition.
Researchers hope that commercially available inhalers could be used to deliver novel treatment to infected lungs.
New research with samples from Pic du Midi Observatory reveal that microplastics are traversing the globe through the atmosphere.
Specially designed microrobots could help clean plastic waste from water systems.
A new approach combines 3D coherent imaging with machine learning to detect microscale microplastics in filtered water samples.
