A review of more than 140 studies found that many micro- and nanoplastics in bottled water don’t come from the water itself, ...
Plastic particles from water bottles can kill pancreatic cells and cause diabetes, study finds - Previous research links tiny plastic particles to a range of adverse health conditions but largely stop ...
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 ...
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.
"Understanding the mechanisms ... is critical to developing effective mitigation strategies." New research uncovers troubling ...
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 ...
For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have watched water molecules in real-time as they prepared to give up electrons to form oxygen. In the crucial moment before producing oxygen, ...
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
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 ...
