High Potential could just be the hyperactive antidote to the grimness of life that so many of us need right now.

Microplastics are ubiquitous in our food chain, originating from plastic packaging, polluted water, and more. Microplastics have made their way into our food, water, and even our bodies, but you ...

Microplastics are accumulating in vital organs and promoting antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which can prolong diseases and increase mortality. A study showed that bacteria like E. coli form ...

The pollution of the planet by microplastics is significantly cutting food supplies. Global food security is seriously threatened by the concerning effects of microplastics on the world's food ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

Microplastics, like the ones pictured here, have been linked to several health concerns. Researchers from Boston University identified another downside to microplastics — bacteria exposed to ...

Microplastics — defined as plastic particles under 0.2 inches – have been discovered most recently in human lungs and brains, as well as in our livers, kidneys, and testes. They have so far been ...

Researchers were shocked to see that bacteria's antimicrobial resistance is strengthened when exposed to plastic particles and point to a potential outsized impact on refugees. Microplastics ...

Bacteria exposed to these ubiquitous fragments, known as “microplastics,” became resistant to multiple types of antibiotics commonly used to treat infections, researchers showed in the study ...
