Tiny particles of plastic, called microplastics, pose a host of environmental problems in marine ecosystems and beyond. Recent research has found that these microplastics are found in more places, and in larger amounts, than anyone anticipated. Now researchers from NC State and Cornell are working to develop a self-sustaining system that uses microplastics to capture more microplastics.
