Petroleum is the most complex matrix in nature, constituted by many thousands of compounds, and presents an analytical challenge. As the world's remaining deposits of petroleum become heavier, it's ...

Micro- and nanoplastics accumulate in human brain tissue at concentrations significantly higher than in the liver or kidneys, according to direct post-mortem measurements published in Nature Medicine.

There is a high demand for the increase in renewable energy sources to reduce our reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas, reducing the effects of climate change. One such renewable source is the ...
