University of Pennsylvania researchers accidentally stumbled onto a novel material that can pull water from the air without requiring external energy. While testing a mix of hydrophilic nanopores and ...

Solar water splitting is one of the most direct ways to produce green hydrogen using sunlight. However, most photocatalysts ...

That trait, which makes a coffee lid or a fishing float so useful, also turns plastic into a long-term guest in places it was never invited. Unrecovered fragments collect across ecosystems, and they ...

Many materials take a layered form at the microscopic or nano-scale. When dry, clays for example resemble a series of sheets stacked upon each other. When such layered materials encounter water ...

Copper pipes show corrosion signs like discoloration and green patches, which indicate potential failure points, especially under chloramine disinfection conditions PEX piping is vulnerable to ...

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 ...
