Across the U.S., hundreds of sites on land or in lakes and rivers are heavily contaminated with hazardous waste produced by ...

Nanoscale particles could potentially help address agricultural and environmental sustainability issues on a global scale. Those issues include rising food demand, increasing greenhouse gas emissions ...

When words like micro- and nanoparticles are used, most think of pollutants themselves, not remediation. But sometimes, scaling down can be the way to solve the most complex issues in the environment.

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

Balancing sustainability and food safety, this article explores advancements in packaging materials that extend shelf life and minimize environmental impact.

Plastic pollution in freshwater is increasing, leading to micro- and nanoplastic buildup. A study found these particles and their surface charge can harm fish reproduction, especially under stress.

Imagine cutting a strand of hair into one hundred thousand tiny slices. Now imagine something even smaller than one of those slices. That is the scale of nanotechnology. A human hair is about 80,000 ...
