Tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are showing up everywhere, even in the water in clouds, rain, and snow—and they ...

Plastic is one of the most durable materials humans have ever made. That durability has made it indispensable in medicine, ...

Manufacturing at a massive scale often forces a compromise between structural integrity and capital efficiency. In the conventional landscape of plastic production, the move from a desktop-sized part ...

In a recent review published in npj Parkinson's Disease, researchers reviewed emerging experimental and mechanistic evidence linking micro- and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) to the pathogenesis of ...

The surging tide of microplastics is already an environmental and health threat, but as the world heats up — driving increasingly extreme weather — it’s transforming them into “more mobile, persistent ...

If there's one thing humans have figured out, it's how to produce plastic. Unfortunately, figuring out how to recycle and reuse it is another challenge altogether. But a team of researchers at the ...

The building material manufacturer has incorporated recycled-content plastic into its products sourced from mechanical and, more recently, chemical processes. 3form has been using recycled-content ...
