A review of more than 140 studies found that many micro- and nanoplastics in bottled water don’t come from the water itself, ...

Previous research links tiny plastic particles to a range of adverse health conditions but largely stops short of ...

Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.

When drinking from a plastic water bottle, you’re drinking more than just water, a new study shows — you’re also consuming thousands of “nanoplastics.” A paper published Monday in Proceedings of the ...

The average one-liter plastic bottle of water contains levels of “nanoplastics” that are 100 times higher than previously thought, according to a new study. The peer-reviewed study, the first to test ...

Scientists studying how tiny particles of plastic affect our everyday lives say that the amount of nanoplastics found in bottled water is between 10 to 100 times higher than researchers had previously ...

Biochar made from corn cobs can remove microplastics and ammonia from water, offering a low-cost, reusable filter made from ...

A collaborative team of experimental and computational physical chemists has made an important discovery in the field of electrochemistry, shedding light on the movement of water molecules near metal ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...

At this point, it’s common knowledge that bottled water contains microplastics — fragments of the insidious material that can be as small as a bacterial cell. But the problem is much worse than ...
