IV infusion bags shed microplastics into the saline solutions they contain, say researchers publishing in the ACS partner journal Environment & Health. Keeping the bags away from heat and UV light could help reduce this contamination, and using additional filters during infusion could remove the particles before they enter the bloodstream.

We #SupportScience because science creates connections. Science happens in a lab, and it's also important that we can connect scientific research to its effects on our society, communities, and individuals.

Can you imagine a smartphone with a wooden touchscreen? Or a house with wooden windows? Probably not — unless you’ve heard of transparent wood. Made by modifying wood’s natural structure, this material has been proposed as a sturdy, eco-friendly alternative for plastic. Researchers are working to create transparent woods using almost entirely natural materials, and have explored making them electrically conductive, too. They present their results at #ACSSpring2025: https://brnw.ch/21wRBjc Image credit: Bharat Baruah
