Every minute, the equivalent of a garbage truck full of plastic is dumped into the oceans. However, before reaching the sea, these debris embark on a long journey through the twists and turns of ...

This guide helps users upgrading from Micrometer 1.12.x to Micrometer 1.13.x by explaining changes users should be aware of and potentially take action on. See also the release page for included ...

The most advanced of these are called micro-LED displays, which boast, as the name suggests, pixels on the scale of micrometers. The problem is, micro-LED displays are expensive, and when the ...

The 1.7-gram lightweight microscope integrates confocal fluorescence and photoacoustic microscopy, allowing recordings at 0.78 hertz with 1.5-micrometer lateral resolution across a field of view ...

The average size of gum microplastics was 82.6 micrometers—about the thickness of paper or the diameter of a human hair. The study also highlighted equipment and technical limitations.

If the AQI reaches between 101 and 150, a code orange level for PM2.5, fine particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter, the air quality poses a greater health risk to more residents ...

The new 100-millimeter (3.9-inch) diameter lens, which has a 200 mm (7.8 in) focal length, is just 2.4 micrometers thick. Optimized for the 400 to 800 nm wavelength range for visible light, this ...

The researchers therefore replaced rigid, bulky substrates that usually host electronics with a thin, light, and flexible membrane that is just a few micrometers thick. The entire membrane is ...
