The formation of biofilms on plastic medical devices protect bacteria from the body’s natural defenses against infection, and integrating antimicrobials in the materials is a commonly used method to ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

Bacteria that colonize tiny plastic fragments drifting through the atmosphere can significantly enhance those particles’ ability to trigger ice crystal formation inside clouds, according to research ...

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered how specific surface patterns on plastics used for medical devices can drastically reduce the ability of bacteria to attach and multiply, ...

So what can we actually do about plastic pollution? A lot of early literature seemed to point to food and drinks packaging, but more recent ones instead say majority of the pollution is actually from ...
