Thousands of microscopic plastics in the air of homes, offices and cars may be endangering our health, according to a new ...

Scientists find concentrations 100 times higher than previous estimates, with most particles small enough to penetrate lungs.

A PLOS One study finds indoor air contains up to 68,000 microplastics daily. Learn where they come from, how they’re measured ...

Meanwhile aside from my £8 micrometer I’ve borrowed a couple of considerably higher quality instruments, a Mitutoyo 103-137 metric model which sells for about £57 ($70), and a vintage 1960s ...

Humans are likely inhaling far greater amounts of lung-penetrating microplastics than previously assumed, scientists are ...

New measurements of fine microplastic particles suspended in the air in homes and cars suggest that humans may be inhaling ...

The Starett T444 Outside Micrometer comes from a company that has been making micrometers since 1880. It’s an analog model with a range from one to two inches, graduated in 0.0001 inch (2.54 ...

Nearly 95% of these particles are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs, causing inflammation and oxidative stress.

The integration of both BSI and CNR achieves a signal to noise ratio (SNR) equal to Toshiba's existing 1.4 micrometer CMOS image sensor. The new, smaller T4K71 delivers a high speed frame rate of ...

Researchers now report an exception to this rule: when small, micrometer-sized particles are placed on a curved oil-water surface, they arrange in a square pattern, as on a chessboard.
