Microplastics Beneath the Surface: Their Journey Through Soils, Crops, and Groundwater

Recent evidence shows how microplastics move through the soil–water–urban continuum, ultimately reaching aquifers.

Health

From Gut to Brain: Diet May Improve Aging

With age, communication between the gut and the brain weakens. New research points to the design of fermented foods that not only nourish but also help strengthen this connection and improve quality of life in later years.

Measuring workplace mental health before it becomes a crisis

Researchers evaluate a new tool designed to proactively monitor the mental health of workers across Latin America.

Tech

Quantum Light Vortices in a Tiny Crystal

Researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) observed spirals of light in bacterium-sized perovskite microcrystals, where light and matter combine to form what is known as the fifth state of matter at room temperature (25 °C).
