For two days the researchers traced the paths taken by the tagged microplastics after they were ingested, by detecting pairs of gamma rays created during the decay of copper-64. The mice ate small plastic compounds joined to copper-64, a positron-emitting radioisotope, and DOTA, a molecule that helps bind copper-64 to plastic.
