Nanoscience offers solutions to environmental challenges, addressing pollution and enhancing ecological resilience through advanced nanotechnology.
While concerns about the persistence of nanomaterials in the environment remain, emerging research points to their utility in remediation, such as capturing microplastics or stabilizing heavy metals in soil.
Nanotechnology is being reimagined as a tool for ecological recovery.
Micro- and nanoplastics are a serious concern for ecosystems and living organisms, but the latest nanoscience is addressing, rather than causing, environmental challenges.
