Your face as your passport starting in Sydney

You will soon be able to walk through Sydney Airport's international terminal to your waiting plane after only showing your passport once. That is the goal of a trial of biometric testing due to start in May with Qantas passengers. Biometric processing has the potential to revolutionise the journey through the airport to planes. http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/your-face-will-be-your-passport-sydney-airport-to-trial-biometrics-20180221-p4z14p.html

Great idea and no doubt it'll spread to other places where security is important.

Agree! I hate waiting in queues.

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
