The tiny beads added to some cleansers and cosmetics are one source of the long-lasting microplastics that threaten the environment. But MIT researchers have found a way to address the problem at its source: replacing them with polymers that break down into harmless sugars and amino acids. Particles of this polymer could also be used to encapsulate nutrients such as vitamin A to fortify foods, which could help some of the 2 billion people around the world who suffer from nutrient deficiencies. To develop the material, graduate student Linzixuan (Rhoda) Zhang and her colleagues turned to poly-beta-amino esters, a class of polymers previously developed in the lab of Institute Professor Robert Langer, ScD ’74, which have…

Extensions are like apps for your browser, letting you customize and enhance your online experience. Nearly half of all Firefox users have installed at least one extension, from privacy tools to productivity boosters. To build these extensions, developers rely on a platform called WebExtensions, which provides APIs — the tools that allow extensions to interact with web pages and browser features. Right now, all major browsers — including Firefox, Chrome and Safari — are implementing the latest version of this platform, Manifest V3. But different browsers are taking different approaches, and those differences affect which extensions you can use. Firefox’s approach to Manifest V3 is shaped by our mission Principle 5 of the Mozilla Manifesto…
