Gas separation membranes are vital for carbon capture, biogas upgrading, and hydrogen purification, all of which require the separation of carbon dioxide from gases like nitrogen, methane and hydrogen ...

A thin water layer stabilised by hydrophilic nanopores can facilitate carbon dioxide separation. The new membrane shows ...

Scientists have found a way to significantly boost “blue energy,” which generates electricity from the mixing of saltwater and freshwater. By coating nanopores with lipid molecules that create a ...

Researchers sample water from various layers to analyze back in the lab. Elizabeth Swanner, CC BY-ND Little Deming Lake doesn’t get much notice from visitors to Itasca State Park in Minnesota. There’s ...

Organic chemists have tended to avoid using water to host reactions, largely because their carbon-based molecules rarely dissolve in the liquid. Now, Burkhard König at the University of Regensburg has ...

A microrobotic tool uses magnetic control and hydrophobic particles to cut water surfaces and create reconfigurable platforms for fluidic applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the most advanced ...

For the successful hybrid bonding of Cu-Cu to occur in highly demanding, sophisticated packaging, the two mating dielectric surfaces, often silicon oxides, must bond effectively at low temperatures.

A new UBC study published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) has unveiled insights into how microscopic organisms such as marine plankton move through water with ...
