New research reveals that PET-based glitter microplastics can actively influence biomineralisation processes in marine environments, raising fresh concerns about the long-term environmental impact of ...
HONG KONG, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Microbially induced corrosion (MIC) is a major issue in marine environments, leading to structural damage such as cracking in concrete infrastructure. This ...
When magnetotactic bacteria follow their internal compass, they are not seeking the proper route from north to south, but instead are seeking the bottom of oceans, rivers, or other bodies of water.
Most glitter waste eventually makes its way into seawater due to its small size, lightweight nature, and widespread use, making it difficult to capture in waste management systems. New research ...
Brachiopods are marine invertebrates that have long been valued as archives of palaeoenvironmental conditions due to their robust, low‐magnesium calcite shells. The geochemistry and microstructure of ...
