Investigating how we can peek into the origin of the Solar System thanks to ancient meteorites.. The composition of primordial meteorites, known as chondrites, is investigated in order to better understand the origins of the Solar System. Chondrites can be analyzed thanks to highly sophisticated sensors, such as the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), […]
Small Plastic Causing a Big Problem (Young Talents Making Way)
Plastic pollution is a global issue which is raising concern for the health of marine and land ecosystems. Smaller microplastics 5mm are particularly problematic as they can be consumed by marine creatures as small as plankton. Beascuse plastic is hydrophobic, it absorbs pollutants like polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and can act as a vector to […]
