Optical analysis and machine learning techniques can now readily detect microplastics in marine and freshwater environments using inexpensive porous metal substrates. Optical analysis and machine ...

This year’s Nobel Prize-winning chemists designed porous materials that can pull water from the desert air, capture carbon dioxide from factories, and scoop pollution out of water. They’re called ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

Water pollution is a growing concern globally, with research estimating that chemical industries discharge 300-400 megatonnes (600-800 billion pounds) of industrial waste into bodies of water each ...

Research shows metal-organic frameworks can be manufactured at scale for air and water purification, enabling real-world environmental applications. (Nanowerk News) Excess carbon dioxide in the ...

Milestones of porous materials with monomodal pore structures (Porous materials 1.0): (a) new zeolite topology, (b) organic zeolites, (c) mesoporous materials, and (d) extra-large pore zeolites.

Researchers have developed an environmentally friendly way to transform discarded orange peels into a highly efficient material that can remove toxic dyes from wastewater, offering a sustainable ...
