Imagine a world where clean drinking water is readily available even in the most remote areas. This vision is becoming a reality thanks to innovative research from scientists in Canada. A team of ...

A team developed photothermal porous polymer capable of ultra-fast adsorption and removal of phenolic microplastics and VOC contaminants in water. Showing the potential as a next-generation water ...

Solar stills provide a clever and simple means of purifying dirty or salty water, but they work at a rather slow rate. A new material has been shown to boost their performance, and it's made from ...

Advances have been made that can allow us to purify seawater to make it drinkable by using Graphene Oxide (GO). The process is a mixture of ion sieving and desalination. A team from Manchester ...

(Nanowerk News) As much as a third of the world’s population does not have access to clean drinking water, according to some estimates, and half of the population could live in water-stressed areas by ...

As much as a third of the world’s population does not have access to clean drinking water, according to some estimates, and half of the population could live in water-stressed areas by 2025. Finding a ...

A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests that renewable solar energy could play a crucial role in purifying water. Traditionally, electrochemical separation has been ...

Imagine a device that not only purifies water but also recycles waste, all at an affordable price. Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have made this a reality, creating a water purifier ...

Although we've seen a number of systems that use sunlight to purify tainted water, their output is often quite limited. A new loofah-inspired hydrogel, however, uses sunlight to treat much more water ...
