Found throughout our bodies, food and environment, both microplastics and their ingredients have been linked to heart attacks, stroke, respiratory conditions, fertility issues and death—to name just a ...
Technology developed in Donegal is helping to provide clean drinking water in Uganda and could be rolled out to other ...
Sensors to detect temperature, pressure, and gases, such as CO 2, have been around for centuries. However, the latest devices can measure a growing list of substances and process the data in real-time ...
Last week, Governor Murphy and six other Governors sent a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) demanding that the agency include microplastics in the next Unregulated Contaminant ...
THEY’RE DOING TO FIGHT BACK. IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO START CHANGING. WHAT WE DO NOW, BECAUSE THE IMPACTS ARE POTENTIALLY REALLY DETRIMENTAL. MICROPLASTICS, TINY BITS OF PLASTIC LESS ...
University of Iowa IIHR research associate Tom Stoeffler checks the sensor unit for a nitrate sensor at Waterworks Prairie Park in Iowa City on Sept. 11. The state’s automated network of sensors ...
The Des Moines River braids through a floodplain south of Woodward in Dallas County. A network of sensors across Iowa capture real-time data in rivers and streams, including nitrate, pH, temperature ...
DES MOINES, Iowa (Gray Media Iowa Capitol Bureau) - Three out of four of Iowa’s nitrate monitors will stop operating by next June after the state reallocated $500,000 in funding from the water quality ...
They linger in our water, our blood and the environment—so-called "forever chemicals” that are notoriously difficult to detect. But researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of ...
Riona Indhur has received the prestigious National Research Foundation (NRF) postdoctoral research fellowship (Scarce Skills). The project was funded by the National research Foundation and Water ...
For millions of years, a fragment of ice and dust drifted between the stars—like a sealed bottle cast into the cosmic ocean. This summer, that bottle finally washed ashore in our solar system and was ...
Early-stage disease diagnosis relies on the highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavity sensors have emerged as a highly promising technology for ...
