“The current population of slightly more than six billion consumes the resources (water) of one planet Earth. By about 2050, when the population is expected to reach about nine billion, and if ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking one-step, crystal growth process for making ultra-thin layers of material with molecular-sized pores. Researchers demonstrated the use of the material, ...

A new membrane-based separation technology could provide an efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative to current nanofiltration methods based on organic solvents. Conventional ...

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its ...

Researchers from the International Institute for Carbo-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER), Kyushu University and NanoMembrane Technologies Inc. in Japan are using organic polymer membranes to develop ...

Membrane fouling, derived from the interaction between membrane materials and various contaminants, leads to reduction in membrane permselectivity and limits long-term continuous application of the ...

The highly asymmetric nature of Vivid plasma separation (PS) membranes allow the cellular components of the blood (red cells, white cells and platelets) to be captured in the larger pores without ...
