Billions of micro fibers—small bits of plastic easily consumed by aquatic life—are being emitted into the environment from the clothes we wear. The rampant, voracious mass production of the ...

They also collected micro-samples of the paintings ... a finish coating between a red paint layer and a plaster layer made up mostly of plant fibers. "So far, we've only found it in relation ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive compact and ...

Researchers at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, used the liquid crystal elastomer technology to demonstrate a series of micro-tools grown on optical fibers. The 200-micrometer gripers ...
