Researchers in Germany and Australia have created a simple but powerful tool to detect nanoplastics—tiny, invisible particles that can slip through skin and even the blood-brain barrier. Using an “optical sieve” test strip viewed under a regular microscope, these particles reveal themselves through striking color changes.
