Microplastics in groundwater (and our drinking water) present unknown risk
Presentation at the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America. Microplastics (plastics <5mm) and their negative health impacts have been studied in oceans, rivers, and even soils, and…
On-surface synthesis of graphene nanoribbons could advance quantum devices
An international multi-institution team of scientists has synthesized graphene nanoribbons – ultrathin strips of carbon atoms – on a titanium dioxide surface using an atomically precise method that removes a…
Floating gardens: More than just a pretty place
Research presented at the 2020 GSA Annual Meeting Floating gardens sound so idyllic. Now, a study proves that they are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers…
Scientists from NUST MISIS manage to improve metallic glasses
Researchers at National University of Science and Technology MISIS (NUST MISIS) have managed to develop a unique method to process bulk metallic glasses. According to the authors of the study,…
Internet-of-Space – the future of comprehensive broadband Internet coverage?
Today around 60% of the world’s population have no access to the Internet. That is why we are intensively looking for solutions to guarantee error-free and smooth data communication with…
