Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium micro ...

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study from the University of Gothenburg, which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by ...

ETH Zurich Materials Scientists are the first to measure the microscopic forces involved when particles in suspensions such as concrete or paint roll past each other. Previously, such measurements ...

The Supporting Information is available free of charge at https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c05153. Fitting parameters of standard curves, the pore size ...

That's because plants absorb microplastics in water and soil through their roots, and the majority of these particles become concentrated in this part of the plant with only a tiny amount ...

By incorporating microfiber discharge electrodes and nonmetallic carbon plates, the system operates on low current yet removes more than 90% of ultrafine particles. Additionally, it resolves the ozone ...

They then measured the amount of microplastics in the samples, either by staining the particles red and counting them with a microscope, or via a technique called Fourier-transform infrared ...

That’s a real blow, especially since a growing body of research suggests these tiny particles may pose a threat to our health, potentially even raising the risk of three chronic, harmful diseases.

The research, presented at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society, suggests that a single piece of chewing gum could introduce as many as 3,000 microplastic particles into the saliva, ...
