Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

The Extent of Catholyte Gelation as a Critical Safety Factor in NMC‐Based Solid‐State Battery Design
Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.The work presented here describes the enhanced safety benefits offered by full immobilization of a liquid catholyte in a quasisolid‐state Li‐ion battery and the hazards that are retained by the use of a liquid catholyte in these cells. Solid‐state batteries (SSBs) are considered a safer alternative to conventional lithium‐ion batteries due to the ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Atomic absorption spectrometry—AAS
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 2206-2224, May 2026.Abstract Elements absorb electromagnetic radiation (light) of a specific wavelength in proportion to the number of atoms in its path. As the atoms absorb this light energy, electrons rise from the ground state to an excited state. In atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), high temperatures produce clouds of atoms from the sample (atomization) and ...
