Microplastics (MPs) everywhere and pose a serious threat to human health. Although the concentration of MPs in table salt has been quantified several times, studies have reported vastly different results.
Biopolymer-Coated Nanocatalyst Could Drive a Hydrogen Fuel-Based Future

A newly devised nanorod catalyst could help water splitting by sunlight become a viable and eco-friendly route to hydrogen fuel.
Humanity’s consumption of fossil fuels drives massive detrimental changes to the environment, releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that are fueling the climate change crisis. Thus, a long-term sustainable alternative fuel source that is environmentally friendly is desperately needed.
One possible alternative for fossil fuels that has been proposed by researchers for some time is hydrogen (H2). The Universe’s most abundant element, hydrogen, is a high-energy-density molecule, and when it is used as a fuel, it produces only water as a by-product making it a clean alternative to fossil fuels too.
