When plastic waste breaks down into the smallest fragments, less than 1 micrometer wide—or 1,000 times finer than human hair—it can’t be detected at wastewater treatment plants. But researchers have ...

A magnetic powder that can rapidly suck out all the microplastics in water could be used by water treatment plants to better remove the contaminants. At present, most of these plants can remove only ...

Energy scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), together with colleagues from China, have presented a new two-stage method for producing high-magnetic ceramics from a material in the form ...

A research team of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in smart materials, successfully developing ...
