A Village Boy's Journey to Become an Entrepreneur
Arif was born in a small village in Bangladesh. He grew up as a farmer's son, but his dreams were limitless. Before going to bed at night, he would fly in his imagination. Sitting in a hut, he would write about his dreams in a notebook, what he wanted to be, where he wanted to go, what he wanted to achieve.

Nanoplastics from Real-World Plastic Waste Can Adsorb Heavy Metal Ions, Study Reveals
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. While the visible impacts of plastic waste are alarming, a growing body of research highlights an even more insidious threat: nanoplastics. These tiny plastic particles, measuring less than 100 nanometers (nm) in size, are generated when larger plastic debris breaks down in the environment. A recent study has revealed that nanoplastics derived from real-world plastic waste can readily adsorb heavy metal ions, significantly increasing environmental and health risks.

Soviet-Era Spacecraft Crashes Back to Earth After 53 Years Stuck in Orbit
