In Cassandra Callmann and her team’s proof-of-concept, the sticky materials removed heavy metals including cadmium and lead. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans ...

Researchers have synthesized a bio-inspired polymer for water purification. The polymer was designed to mimic phytochelatin, a plant protein that selectively captures and neutralizes harmful heavy ...

FEC is a global green energy entity whose patented and proprietary technologies harness sound energy in unique ways to destroy bacteria and viruses, improve water processing, and enhance chemical ...

The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...

A research group has discovered a new technique for improving the electrodes that convert seawater into potable water using oxygen. Their improved material outperformed commonly used materials, ...

Access to safe, clean water varies across the globe. Vital to life, this is a problem scientists are trying to fix. Researchers have been turning to smart materials for a solution, engineered ...

Industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have led to a decline in water quality, leaving 1.8 billion people without enough water and 4 billion facing water shortages for at least one ...

Phoenix is receiving $179 million in federal funding to build a new water purification facility. The North Gateway facility will treat up to 8 million gallons of wastewater daily, converting it into ...

Over the last two decades of COIN operations, the role of the 92W has been quietly underused. With contract support readily available in mature theaters, purification in theater became an exception ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their ...
