An engineering team from The University of Austin has collaborated with international scientists to develop a process that filters salt and other elements out of water more efficiently. The process ...

This silica plug glows green thanks to the fluorescent molecule that Anna Poryvai was filtering. Similar to a silica column, a silica plug—basically just a short, stout column of silica in a fritted ...

Regular filters, often made of porous solid materials, either trap solids mixed in with fluid, or big molecules and let small ones go through. But a bio-inspired self-healing liquid membrane filter, ...

Polymer membranes potentially offer a more sustainable way to separate chemical mixtures, compared with energy-intensive distillation or expensive chromatography. During organic solvent nanofiltration ...

Alan Turing is rightly famed for his contributions to computer science. But one of his key concepts—an autonomous system that can generate complex behavior from a few simple rules—also has ...
