Professor Jeong-Min Baik's research group of the SKKU School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research group has discovered a new technique for improving the electrodes that convert seawater into potable water using oxygen. Their improved material outperformed commonly used materials, ...

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 ...

Phoenix is receiving $179 million in federal funding to build a new water purification facility. The North Gateway facility will treat up to 8 million gallons of wastewater daily, converting it into ...

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 ...
