The filter material to analyze particulate matter with Raman or FTIR microspectroscopy plays a vital role. Their simple task is to filter liquids to isolate solids onto filters – but as soon as you ...

A new material made from several layers of graphene is an effective shield for terahertz and microwave radiation, while letting visible light through. So say researchers in the US, who have created ...

Water contamination from chemicals used in modern technology is an increasingly serious global issue. A recent study by the US Centers for Disease Control revealed that 98% of individuals tested had ...

“Place a few tablespoons of baking soda in a coffee filter, secure it with a rubber band, and tuck it into shoes, gym bags, ...

A new material can pull a toxic, hard-to-degrade industrial chemical from drinking water more effectively than current methods. Perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, hangs around in the environment for ...

Both, it turns out, can be produced more sustainably by using a new type of filter made with graphene. At a large brewery, the technology can save millions of gallons of water a year. A variation on ...

With brewing coffee, as with cooking food, each ingredient and step along the way shapes the end result. The technique, roast, coarseness of grounds, temperature and quality of water are all known to ...

The microscopic structure of the feathers of the eastern bluebird, a type of North American thrush, has inspired the creation of a simple-to-produce, scalable and robust novel synthetic material that ...

With demand for critical minerals on the rise, mining activity in Northern Canada is only going to increase. That will require new solutions for treating water that becomes contaminated from mining – ...
