Nanoplastics from Real-World Plastic Waste Can Adsorb Heavy Metal Ions, Study Reveals
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. While the visible impacts of plastic waste are alarming, a growing body of research highlights an even more insidious threat: nanoplastics. These tiny plastic particles, measuring less than 100 nanometers (nm) in size, are generated when larger plastic debris breaks down in the environment. A recent study has revealed that nanoplastics derived from real-world plastic waste can readily adsorb heavy metal ions, significantly increasing environmental and health risks.

Soviet-Era Spacecraft Crashes Back to Earth After 53 Years Stuck in Orbit
A piece of Cold War space history has finally met its fiery end as Kosmos 482, a Soviet-era spacecraft stranded in orbit since 1972, has re-entered Earth’s atmosphere after 53 years. The derelict probe, originally intended for a Venus landing, spent over half a century circling Earth before succumbing to gravity. While most of the spacecraft likely burned up upon re-entry, experts suggest that some fragments—designed to survive Venus’s extreme conditions—may have reached the ground.
