Ohio State University researchers analyzed samples from Lake Erie treatment plants and six bottled water brands, finding most ...

The study, published in Science of The Total Environment, paired scanning electron microscopy with optical photothermal infrared spectroscopy (OPTIR). That combo let the team spot and identify plastic ...

Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in ...

New research shows bottled water can contain more tiny plastic particles than tap water. Scientists explain why everyday ...

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 have found a clever way to trace water as it moves through the atmosphere, using something most of us probably don ...

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to ...

Using data from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), Southwest Research Institute scientists have discovered water molecules on the surface of an asteroid. “Asteroids are ...

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 ...
