Summary

Researchers developed a spinning metasurface imager for nanoplastic detection, alongside other innovations including solar-powered textiles, quantum dot wavelength capture, and film-based gamma-ray imaging. The nanoplastic detection approach represents a new optical instrument concept for identifying sub-micron plastic particles in environmental samples.
