Scientists have known for years that membranes can do things such as act as a filter for saltwater. When salty ocean water is moved through a membrane, clean water comes out the other side that can be ...

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new membrane water filtration system based around air bubbles that can help address water scarcity issues around the world. Membrane filters generally use ...

Researchers at Monash University have developed a new filter designed to address the limitations of conventional water filters, which are often ineffective at removing smaller PFAS molecules. Image ...

The water in Sydney Harbor–which is salty and polluted by sewage, toxic chemicals, and microplastics–isn’t drinkable. But researchers in Australia recently tested a new type of water filter that ...

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 ...

Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that. Researchers at Monash University have developed a groundbreaking water filtration ...

Most people on Earth get fresh water from lakes and rivers. But these account for only 0.007 percent of the world’s water. As the human population has grown, so has the demand for fresh water. Now, ...

A "straight out of science fiction" liquid membrane developed by a team of Penn State mechanical engineers acts as a "reverse filter" that lets large objects through while blocking small ones. The ...

Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants. Researchers have developed a new ...

Environmental chemists and waste‑management engineers are drawing new attention to an old form of litter: cigarette filters made from cellulose acetate. Recent peer‑reviewed work in ...
