High-performing water filtration systems — necessary for reducing water scarcity — can also reduce cost and energy consumption, a new Northwestern Engineering-led analysis finds. In the new study, ...

A rural town faces yet another summer with taps running dry and reservoirs hitting historic lows. Crops fail, local businesses scale back, and families ration every drop. Clean water is a daily gamble ...

Researchers have proposed using polymer membranes modified with copper, zinc, and chromium metal ions for water purification. These polymers were used for the first time in water purification via ...

Gas separation membranes are vital for carbon capture, biogas upgrading, and hydrogen purification, all of which require the separation of carbon dioxide from gases like nitrogen, methane and hydrogen ...

Nanofiltration membranes represent a dynamic frontier in water purification, offering a selective barrier that removes dissolved salts, organic compounds and various contaminants while maintaining a ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers presented a novel approach to fabricating an omniphobic membrane inspired by the unique surface structures of springtails, known for ...

A recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials presents a new approach to improving both water purification and energy generation. The researchers developed a Janus membrane using advanced ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The growing global water crisis poses a severe threat to human health worldwide. With water pollution from toxic contaminants like dyes, heavy metals, and volatile organic ...
