UV Light Turns Polystyrene Microplastic Surfaces Into Oxidized Shells While Cores Stay Intact
A controlled thin-film experiment shows that TiO2/Fe3O4 composites drive UV-driven oxidation of polystyrene microplastics primarily at the particle surface, leaving ...
Plastic Particles Are Invading Plants From Roots to Leaves
A comprehensive review reveals that micro- and nanoplastics invade terrestrial plants through roots and leaves, disrupting photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and ...
Defect-Engineered Biochar Steers Radicals Toward Precision Water Purification
Researchers have engineered vacancy-pentagon defects in waste-derived biochar that redirect peracetic acid activation toward highly selective, long-lived acetylperoxyl radicals, enabling ...
Tiny Nanoparticles in Rivers May Outmuscle Organic Matter in Breaking Down Pollutants
New research shows that titanium dioxide nanomaterials at parts-per-billion concentrations in surface waters can produce hydroxyl radicals at rates rivaling ...
Pineapple Peels Turned Into Glowing Nanoprobes That Track a Common Insecticide in Water
Researchers converted discarded pineapple peels into fluorescent silicon nanoparticles that detect the insecticide nitenpyram in water through dual fluorescence and ...
One-Minute Solvent-Free Synthesis Yields MOF That Strips Radioactive Strontium from Water in Minutes
Researchers have developed a solvent-free, one-minute mechanochemical synthesis of bimetallic Cu/Zn-MOF-74 that removes 98.26 percent of strontium ions from radioactive ...
Nano-biochar turns toxic silver ions into nanoparticles using pH and superoxide radicals
A new Biochar study shows that nano-biochar rapidly converts toxic dissolved silver ions into silver nanoparticles under weakly alkaline conditions, ...
