Over the past couple weeks, I've been designing a spool with some particular features in #FreeCAD, encompassing 6 parts to 3d-print. I've been manually re-orienting them when I print them.
Now that it's working, I realized that I could use the FreeCAD Assembly workbench to create a good packing of the parts in the right orientation for printing, saving anyone else who wants to prin…

Microbubbles can release microplastics into our water
Microbubbles in the tap water you just poured into a plastic glass are strong enough to create tiny abrasions on the inner layer of the plastic—quietly adding to our growing microplastic problem.

Octopuses use their arms to sense and respond to microbiomes on the seafloor
From the beginning of life on Earth, microbes, small but influential single-celled organisms, have shaped the environment that animals must adapt to in order to survive. Distinct microbial populations, known as microbiomes, inhabit nearly every surface on Earth. Now scientists have found that octopuses can detect signals from the microbiomes they encounter, revealing one of […]

Success! EU Microplastic Ban Regulation Drives Innovation in Biodegradable Alternatives | Happy Eco News
EU microplastic ban regulations introduced through REACH in 2023 are transforming how industries use plastics. The comprehensive rules phase out microplastics from cosmetics, detergents, and agricultural products by 2035, pushing companies to develop biodegradable alternatives. Major corporations and startups are responding with innovative solutions that break down naturally while maintaining performance.
