Mikroroboter-Schwärme entfernen Mikroplastik und Bakterien aus Wasser
Mikroplastik in Meeren ist schädlich für Mensch und Umwelt. Mikroroboter sollen kleinste Kunststoffteile sowie Bakterien künftig einfach herausfiltern können.

Detergent pods are only the start of clothing’s microplastic pollution problem
A New York City bill to ban laundry pods is just one of many proposed solutions.

What happened to microfinance company Kiva? | MIT Technology Review #kiva

What happened to the microfinance organization Kiva?
A group of strikers argue that the organization seems more focused on making money than creating change. Are they right?

Lecker 😱 Die #Arktis und #Antarktis sind nicht vor Verschmutzung durch #Mikroplastik sicher. Eine Studie zeigt, dass 13 Seevogelarten von 1983 bis 2023 Mikroplastik verschluckt haben. Am häufigste…

Seabirds from the poles: microplastics pollution sentinels
The Arctic and Antarctica represent two of the most inhospitable and poorly investigated biomes in the world. Although polar regions are still perceived as some of the most pristine places still in existence, these remote places are no longer immune to anthropogenic pollution, in particular, micro- and nanoplastics. Seabirds, avian species feeding mainly at sea, are indicators of change in the environment and represent an early study group of ecological indicators for plastic pollution. The goa…

After successfully designing and #machining my own rotary broach holder from scratch, I thought I could move on to other things.
Reader, I was wrong.
Today, while driving, I realized that there is no need for a radial bearing. The Hemingway kit is clever in letting the broach float in one axis temporarily until you get it centered and lock it down. But there is no …

Microplastics Make Their Way from the Gut to Other Organs, UNM Researchers Find

"Microplastic concentrations in Antarctic seawater higher than previously estimated"

Microplastic concentrations in Antarctic seawater higher than previously estimated
Microplastic particles can be found in the most remote ocean regions on Earth. In Antarctica, pollution levels are even higher than previously assumed. This is one finding of a recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel.
