The James Webb Space Telescope detected a mysterious chemical signature on Pluto and Titan at 5.113 micrometers that does not match any known compound, baffling astronomers and prompting further study.
This paper demonstrates that dry glove contact with nitrile and latex gloves can cause over 2000 false positives per mm² in microplastic detection via spectroscopic methods, and recommends nitrile cleanroom gloves as a better alternative, along with workflows to distinguish microplastics from stearate contamination.
