New Method Detects Nanoplastics In Body Fluids Using Optofluidics And Raman Spectroscopy

Material & Energy, Nanotechnology /

Microplastics and even tinier nanoplastics can enter the human body through different pathways, such as consumption of food or inhalation. While a significant portion is expelled from the body, some particles persist in organs, the bloodstream, and other bodily fluids. The Nano-VISION project, launched two years ago with BRAVE Analytics, explored the potential implications of […]

A Fungus-Derived Material Could Serve as an Eco-Friendly Alternative to Concrete

Material & Energy, Material Technology /

One effective way to lessen our environmental impact is by adopting more sustainable construction methods. Cement production alone contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions—much of it used in making concrete. Solving this issue is challenging, as it demands eco-friendly materials that match concrete’s strength and require minimal upkeep. That’s why researchers are exploring engineered
