A functional dialysis membrane has been fabricated from a sheet of graphene -- a single layer of carbon atoms, linked end to end in hexagonal configuration like that of chicken wire. The graphene ...

Protein-based membranes can cope with water fluxes much higher than those that can be handled by commercial membranes with similar rejection properties. Membrane interfaces are unsung heroes of the ...

A team of Australian and US scientists has made a breakthrough in the development of membranes that, paradoxically, allow large molecules through far more readily than smaller ones. The new ...

A team of Korean researchers have made a membrane that can turn saltwater into freshwater in minutes. The membrane rejected 99.99% of salt over the course of one month of use, providing a promising ...

Filtering water is an incredibly important process, but it's not as simple as it seems. As the pores in a membrane inevitably get clogged with material, it takes time and energy to clean or replace ...

The refreshing kombucha tea that’s all the rage these days among certain global demographics might also hold the key to affordable, environmentally sustainable living membranes for water filtration, ...

Researchers from the Department of Chemistry of National Institute of Technology-Calicut have developed a membrane that can extract microplastics from water. The invention that can revolutionise the ...

The antimicrobial triclosan is widely used in personal hygiene products, textiles and plastics, but when it enters the environment via wastewater, it poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms.
