Gold-Cored Nanoplastics Reveal How Plants Absorb Pollution
Researchers have engineered a novel nanoplastic with a gold core to track pollution in living organisms with unprecedented precision. Using this tool on garlic plants, they discovered that roots trap these particles in direct proportion to environmental exposure, preventing them from reaching the leaves.
