Researchers measured microplastics deposited in Sierra Nevada snow. Their study does not establish the amount reaching drinking water or health effects.

NASA’s Perseverance rover measured very small particles clinging to spacesuit samples. The finding can inform future Mars mission design.

Oxford researchers found an unusual semiconductor mechanism that could improve solar materials, but they have not demonstrated a finished solar cell.

The Fed kept its target rate unchanged in October, with two officials favoring a hike. Here is how investors can interpret the decision.

MIT researcher Paris Smaragdis works on machine listening. Separating sounds is useful, but recognizing audio remains a difficult inference problem.
