In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

III-V photonic crystal (PhC) lasers are potential ultra-compact and power-efficient light sources for future on-chip optical ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

A graphene membrane uses sunlight to separate lithium from magnesium-rich brine, achieving 28-fold enrichment without electricity or pumps.

Scientists simulated an asteroid impact, and Deinococcus radiodurans’ cell membranes made it through. This suggests that life ...

Researchers developed ceramic membranes with near-defect-free surfaces that filter dyes from wastewater at tap-water pressure, cutting energy use in water treatment.

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental ...

From Gulf megaplants to leaky pipes in Ohio and drought-hit Spain, water is no longer a sleepy utility. It is becoming ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental chemicals may also accelerate ...

A research team has successfully designed and developed a proprietary non-precious metal oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst featuring a layered structure optimized for anion exchange membrane ...

When we artificially induce rain or snow, we use a process called cloud seeding. Particles are launched into the sky to give water molecules a surface to freeze onto. As the ice crystals grow heavier, ...
