The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...

A new review reveals how plant- and microbe-derived nanoparticles can power next-gen water disinfection, delivering cleaner, safer water without the environmental cost of traditional treatments. As ...

Ensuring access to clean water and sustainable energy remains a fundamental global challenge, particularly in decentralized or resource-limited settings. These two demands are often intertwined: water ...

Nanotechnology is the use of materials that are one-billionth of a metre (a nanometre) in size. One of its potential uses is to clean up whatever is contaminating water supplies. Analytical chemist ...

The big picture: Clean water is essential, but some pollutants are notoriously tricky to remove. Scientists have developed a breakthrough filtration process using 2D materials and sugar-based ...
