Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are increasingly incorporated into agricultural inputs, remediation agents and consumer products, leading to their unintentional release into terrestrial ecosystems.

Nanotechnology offers advanced solutions to pressing environmental challenges like pollutant removal, climate change mitigation, and green energy ...

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

A new study shows how organic molecules greatly influence the redox potential of gold nanoparticles, with differences up to 71 mV. Using experiments and computer simulations, the study highlights the ...

In recent years, nanoparticles (particles in the size range of 0.1 nm to 500 nm) have received considerable attention from both science and industry as new information about these particles and their ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Howard University in Washington, D.C., have received a five-year, $3.15 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch a new ...

When words like micro- and nanoparticles are used, most think of pollutants themselves, not remediation. But sometimes, scaling down can be the way to solve the most complex issues in the environment.

Fragranced candles, sprays, and cleaners may smell pleasant, but new science shows they generate harmful nanoparticles that linger in the air and affect your health. Fragranced consumer products, such ...

Modern beer production is a US$117 billion business in the United States, with brewers producing over 170 million barrels of beer per year. The brewing process is time- and energy-intensive, and each ...
