More than 100 million years ago, a flying reptile called a pterosaur flew over the oceans hunting squid and fish. Much more recently, one of its wing bones was discovered in Brazil, transformed over the eons into a fossil made of a complex assemblage of different chemicals and minerals. And in new research published in […]

Microplastics are everywhere. They are tiny pieces of plastic that form when larger plastic items, such as bottles, food containers, plastic bags, and packaging materials, slowly break down over time. These particles are so small that people often cannot see them with the naked eye. Scientists have found microplastics in rivers, oceans, soil, drinking water, […]
