A pilot study in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology found that contact lenses exposed to sunlight over time can shed tiny fragments of plastic, though the health impact is unclear.

Smartwatches and fitness trackers have become ubiquitous forms of wearable tech, accompanying many people throughout their days (and nights). But they may expose the skin to so-called forever ...

Diabetes used to be invariably fatal, killing people by disrupting sugar metabolism until scientists successfully found an effective treatment. Millions have been treated with insulin since the 1920s.

Melamine sponges may easily erase stains and scuffs, but they are also shedding microplastic fibers into the environment as they’re worn away, according to research in Environmental Science & ...

By mimicking a desert-dwelling chameleon, a team reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters has developed an energy-efficient, cost-effective coating. The material could keep buildings cool in the summers — or ...

When a drone takes off, it pulls a ton of power from its battery and can damage the cells. But, “stressed out” lithium-ion batteries could find second lives in other applications, including power grid ...
