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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Access to safe, clean water varies across the globe. Vital to life, this is a problem scientists are trying to fix. Researchers have been turning to smart materials for a solution, engineered ...

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 ...
