(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the National Graphene Institute (NGI) have made 'intelligent' membranes whose 'memory' can be used in areas like smart separation technology, wound management, drug ...

When it comes to cleaning up marine oil spills, it's best if you can use a material that separates the oil from the seawater. Scientists have created a new organic membrane which does exactly that, ...

A team has developed a new method for making nano-membranes of 'smart' materials, which will allow scientists to harness their unique properties for use in devices such as sensors and flexible ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemical separation processes are essential in the manufacturing of many products from gasoline to whiskey. Such processes are energetically costly, accounting for approximately 10–15 ...

Engineers at the University of Tokyo have developed a new type of desalination membrane that they claim is faster, and requires less pressure and energy than existing tech. The new membrane is made up ...

Instead of bioprocessing therapies the traditional way, Yuval Elani, PhD, UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders fellow and lecturer in chemical engineering at Imperial College London, and his ...

Membranes separate or filter out molecules from mixtures according to differences such as size and shape. If molecules are nearly the same size, separation becomes more challenging. Using a well-known ...

Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using electricity and new membranes made at the University of Michigan. The membranes ...

Membrane proteins are ubiquitous cellular components that are responsible for a wide array of cellular and molecular activities, including drug metabolism, lipid shuttling, and antibiotic resistance.
