Study Reveals How Plastic Pollution Travels
Research reveals that microplastic particles get stuck when traveling through porous materials such as soil and sediment but later break free and often continue to move substantially further
Conversation Quickly Spreads Droplets inside Buildings
Researchers have found that ordinary conversation creates a conical 'jet-like' airflow that quickly carries a spray of tiny droplets from a speaker's mouth
How Worms Pass Down Knowledge through the Generations
Princeton researchers find the key to multi-generational pathogen avoidance: a small RNA called P11
Chemists Resolve Origin of Perovskite Instability
The source of thermodynamic instability was found in "rattling" behavior
Local Climate Unlikely to Drive the Early COVID-19 Pandemic

Collaborating with a Team of Rivals Can Resolve Conflict—and Advance Science
"If people are willing to get in a room together and debate their differences, science can be improved," researcher says
Researchers Listen in on the Chemical Conversation of the Human Microbiome
Princeton researchers have developed new computational and experimental tools to identify microbial small molecules encoded in clinical samples, allowing scientists to explore microbial-host interactions and to mine the human microbiome for drug discovery
Boosting Wind Farmers, Global Winds Reverse Decades of Slowing and Pick up Speed
Focusing on regions of North America, Europe, and Asia where wind power is on the rise, the researchers analyzed wind speed records collected between 1978 and 2017 from more than 1,400 weather stations
