The filter material to analyze particulate matter with Raman or FTIR microspectroscopy plays a vital role. Their simple task is to filter liquids to isolate solids onto filters – but as soon as you ...

A new material made from several layers of graphene is an effective shield for terahertz and microwave radiation, while letting visible light through. So say researchers in the US, who have created ...

PFAS are fluorinated compounds found in many everyday products, such as outdoor clothing and cookware like Teflon pans. This is because PFAS are durable, heat-resistant and dirt-repellent. Their ...

Here’s a riddle: What do beer and lithium have in common? Both, it turns out, can be produced more sustainably by using a new type of filter made with graphene. At a large brewery, the technology can ...

A new material can pull a toxic, hard-to-degrade industrial chemical from drinking water more effectively than current methods. Perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, hangs around in the environment for ...

The microscopic structure of the feathers of the eastern bluebird, a type of North American thrush, has inspired the creation of a simple-to-produce, scalable and robust novel synthetic material that ...

With demand for critical minerals on the rise, mining activity in Northern Canada is only going to increase. That will require new solutions for treating water that becomes contaminated from mining – ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are tackling a global water challenge with a unique material designed to target not one, but two toxic, heavy metal pollutants ...

When it comes to auto care, your car requires a lot of routine maintenance to stay in prime condition. Those tasks include things like fluid top-offs and replacements, belt changes, as well as wheel ...
