Microplastic shape can influence viral disease severity in rainbow trout
The shape of microplastics can influence how deadly a viral infection can be for fish, according to new research from William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The findings suggest that some forms of plastic…

How the quantum vacuum perturbs atoms, could shrink black holes and may have helped form galaxiesThe word "vacuum" may conjure the image of empty space. Maybe you think of a region far outside the solar system without planets, debris, gas clouds or light. According to quantum theory, however, a vacuum is never truly empty…Detailed images reveal ribosome assembly inside human cells for the first timeFor decades, ribosomes have been under the lens of many scientists. Ribosomes are highly sophisticated and complex molecular machines that allow cells to synthesize proteins. However, putting ribosomes together requires intricate…Eyewitnesses remember feedback better after making an identification, study findsAn eyewitness can tell the truth, believe every word they say and still send an innocent person to prison. A new study by Stephen Charman from FIU's Department of Psychology takes on a question that has challenged the justice…Terahertz light distinguishes two groups of particles trapped inside superconducting vorticesScientists at Rutgers and in Estonia have used invisible light to look into tiny magnetic whirlpools, called vortices, inside a superconductor, revealing details that could help researchers develop better materials for carrying…What animal bones in Malawi teach us about the social lives of people long agoIn the ancient past, when human communities were small and the only way to travel was by walking, what were the chances of meeting a stranger?

In fact, only a tiny fraction eventually reaches river mouths. Most plastic remains on land or within river systems.This page holds the headline and a short snippet as published by Phys.org, whose feed they came from.
