Plastics are one of the largest sources of pollution on Earth, lasting for years on land or in water. But a new type of brilliantly colored cellulose-based plastic detailed in ACS Nano could change ...

The findings identify photoaging as a key mechanism converting everyday fabrics into marine microplastics, deepening our understanding of microfiber formation and its ecological risks. Microplastics ...

These tangram puzzles are made from a new type of edible cellulose-based plastic with colors provided by tiny nanostructures within the material, rather than dyes. Plastics are one of the largest ...
