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 ...

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A team from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology has created a graphene membrane that ...

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 ...

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 ...

At first glance, the plan sounds compelling: invent and develop future electrolysers capable of producing hydrogen directly from unpurified seawater. But a closer look reveals that such direct ...

Toxic "forever chemicals" have been found in drinking water samples from around the world, new research has warned. PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, are a class of ...

Researchers developed an atmospheric water harvester so effective it was able to extract moisture from the air in Death Valley—one of the driest places on Earth. Reading time 5 minutes An ...

As part of its global expansion strategy, Karofi will participate in CES 2026, presenting its latest water purification technologies and reaffirming its commitment to bringing internationally ...

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 ...

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 ...

Republicans aim to cut National Science Foundation grants linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), threatening key environmental research. Critical climate and water research is at risk due ...

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 ...
