Biochar made from corn cobs can remove microplastics and ammonia from water, offering a low-cost, reusable filter made from ...

Iron particles generated by cities and industry are being dissolved by human-made air pollution and washed into the sea -- potentially increasing the amount of greenhouse gases that the world's oceans ...

Microplastics in rivers, lakes, and oceans aren’t just drifting debris—they’re constantly leaking invisible clouds of ...

Two related discoveries detailing nanocrystalline mineral formation and dynamics have broad implications for managing nuclear ...

Sunlight makes microplastics leak hidden chemicals into water, creating pollution that spreads far beyond plastic pieces.

Scientists have created a nanoparticle-based material that does double duty when cleaning up wastewater—filtering out small particulate matter and dissolved chemicals in a single step. The strategy ...

Dissolved iron is mysteriously pervasive in deep ocean hydrothermal plumes. An analysis of gas, metals and particles from a 4,000 km plume transect suggests that dissolved iron is maintained by rapid ...
