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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The pressing need for clean and affordable drinking water is intensifying as global populations rise and pollutants increasingly compromise available water sources. Traditional methods of water ...

Researchers developed a MOF-based material that removes fluoride from water while giving a real-time visual signal, enabling ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
