Mass Extinctions: A Gradual Process, Not a Single Event
A recent study challenges the notion that mass extinctions are instantaneous events, arguing that the dinosaur-killing event spanned millions of years; this raises concerns that a sixth mass extinction might be gradually unfolding due to a combination of smaller-scale catastrophes.

Microplastics Found in Antarctic Snow: Study Reveals Widespread Contamination
A new study by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) found microplastics in Antarctic snow near research camps, with concentrations up to 3,099 particles per liter, suggesting previous studies underestimated the problem due to less sensitive detection methods. The microplastics, mostly smaller than 50 ...

Microplastics Accumulate in Human Brains: A Growing Concern
A study of 52 human cadavers (2016-2024) found that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate more in human brains than in livers or kidneys; concentrations increased over time and were higher in individuals with dementia.
