Scientists discover new properties of water
There is still a lot to learn about good old H20. An article in News Wise stated that researchers have uncovered new properties of water molecules that have previously escaped notice for almost a hundred years. In its liquid form, water is good at transporting the protons and hydroxide ions produced by the process of […]

Engineers study self-assembling block polymer membranes as an alternative option for water treatment
As water scarcity spreads across the face of the Earth, researchers are scrambling for ways to convert non-traditional sources into potable water. In a Nano Werk article, engineering researchers from two universities reported that self-assembling block polymer membranes could be used as alternative materials in water filtration. The United Nations warned that about 1.9 billion […]

Plastic pollution being re-purposed to break down dyes from wastewater
People use plastic for a variety of reasons, which has given way to the production of different kinds of the material. However, one of the unintended consequences of such an expansion is that of improper disposal. Experts have developed recycling methods to reduce plastic waste, in an effort to mitigate environmental damage. Now a joint […]

Science breakthrough removes nearly all BPA from water at very low cost
A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Auckland, and Oregon State University has recently developed a catalyst that effectively eliminates nearly all traces of bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The new catalysts, called tetra-amido macrocyclic ligands (TAML) activators are small molecules that are known to mimic oxidizing enzymes. According to the researchers, combining the […]
