Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000–100,000 nanometers wide.</p> Thu, 04 Jul 2024 17:50:18 +0000 webfull 200712 at /channels /channels/channels/news/experts-impact-ai-education-357280 <p>ChatGPT and other generative AI tools are changing the way students learn, from grade school to grad school.
