Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Engineered microbes produce bioluminescence in the presence of microplastics, creating a living sensor seen here as a detectable green fluorescence signal, which is laid over a scanning electron ...

In recent years, microplastics have emerged as a significant concern for environmental health and safety, with their long-term impacts still not fully understood. Defined as plastic particles smaller ...

Plastic and microplastic pollution has become a defining environmental concern of our time; headlines warn that these invisible particles might be infiltrating our food and drink. But how much of this ...
