New fluorescence strategy could enable real-time tracking of microplastics inside living organisms

Feb 14, 2026 Researchers propose building fluorescence directly into microplastic polymer structures, enabling stable real-time imaging of how particles move, accumulate, and degrade in biological systems. (Nanowerk News) Microplastics and nanoplastics are now found everywhere on Earth, from ocean depths to agricultural soils and even inside the human body. Yet...
