Optics and photonics applications require careful consideration of clarity, performance, dimensional stability, and the environment in which they’re used.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are pervasive in terrestrial environments, influencing the delicate balance of soil ecosystems ...

It seems like every day a new study finds tiny plastic particles called microplastics where they should not be: in our bodies and our food, water and air. Yet finding and identifying microplastics is ...
