(PHYSorg.com Nanotechnology)

In a discovery that has implications for our understanding of the air we breathe, UCI chemists report that they`ve found nanoscale fragments of fungal cells in the atmosphere. The pieces are extremely small, measuring about 30 nanometers in diameter, and much more abundant than previously thought, the researchers say in a study published this week in Science Advances.
