Generating membranes using electrochemical polymerization, or electropolymerization, could provide a simple and cost-effective route to help various industries meet increasingly strict environmental ...

Physicists from École Normale Supérieure and Paris Science and Letters University in France have proven theoretically that active sieving, as opposed to its passive counterpart, can improve the ...

In many industries, laser diffraction is used to perform routine particle size analysis. The power of laser diffraction is such that it has started to replace conventional techniques, such as sieving.

The exponentially increasing implementation of renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar energy, are urgently demanding the development of large-scale energy storage devices with flexibility, ...

A new cross-linking method creates 3-micron membranes with angstrom-scale pores, boosting efficiency in flow batteries by overcoming selectivity-permeability trade-offs. (Nanowerk News) Polymeric ...

The past October marked an exciting time for those in the field of isotopic science. Two brand new approaches to isolate and enrich light elements have been reported. Although a variety of elements ...

Lithium is key to our electric, low-carbon future. The best known rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage rely on the silvery metal. But the supply of lithium is ...
