Purifying water with the help of wood, bacteria and the sun
According to the United Nations, about one-fifth of the world’s population lives in areas where water is scarce. Therefore, technologies to produce clean water from undrinkable sources, such as seawater, river or…
Nanotechnology applied to medicine: The first liquid retina prosthesis
Researchers at Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) has led to the revolutionary development of an artificial liquid retinal prosthesis to counteract the effects of diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular…
Scientists see surprisingly strong light, high heat from nanogaps between plasmonic electrodes
Physicists see surprisingly strong light, high heat from nanogaps between plasmonic electrodes. Seeing light emerge from a nanoscale experiment didn’t come as a big surprise to Rice University physicists. But it got…
Smart sponge could clean up oil spills
A Northwestern University-led team has developed a highly porous smart sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the…
