A Critical Evaluation of Nano‐ and Microplastics: Sources, Health Risks, and Mitigation Strategies
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Microplastics (1 μm–5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 μm) have become ubiquitous contaminants across air, water, and soil systems, with growing evidence of their presence in human tissues including blood, lungs, and even the placenta. While microplastics have been extensively studied, nanoplastics remain poorly understood because of their minute size and ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Wetlandscapes—networks of hydrologically connected wetlands—can influence the transport and transformation of nutrients across watersheds. As climate change and human activity reshape wetland extent and connectivity, these landscape‐scale processes are being altered in ways that may intensify eutrophication in downstream lakes. We used Landsat‐

Fouling in Emulsion Polymerization: Fundamentals and Methods of Investigation
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 43, November 15, 2025.ABSTRACT The current understanding of fouling in emulsion polymerization is summarized from an engineering perspective and from a physical‐chemistry perspective. Emulsion polymerization in semibatch mode offers better control over the number of particles and side reactions than batch mode. Both reaction fouling and particulate fouling are observed, the

On the generalized Snell–Descartes laws, shock waves, water wakes, and Cherenkov radiation
Nanophotonics, Volume 14, Issue 23, Page 3897-3909, 02 November 2025.Abstract The modification of light's trajectory after refracting through a boundary separating two media is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. The laws governing such refraction/reflection, known today as the Snell–Descartes laws of reflection and refraction, were established over four centuries ago and have since become foundational to the field of ...
