How can functionalized nanomaterials be engineered to selectively bind or degrade microplastics in biological or aquatic systems without introducing new toxicological concerns?
The growing burden of nano- and microplastics (NMPs) in biological tissues and aquatic systems is a pressing environmental and health concern. Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) like metal oxides, sulfides, carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene oxide), and polymer-based nanostructures offer potential as scavengers, sensors, or degraders of these pollutants. However, many challenges remain in designing nanomaterials that are both selective and safe for use in complex biological or ecological...

How do you balance writing new papers and revising drafts, especially when working on multiple projects with overlapping deadlines?
I often find myself torn between drafting new manuscripts and revising older ones under tight, conflicting deadlines. I’d love to hear how others handle this challenge.
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
