The Complex Mystery Of Membranes
A desalination membrane acts as a filter for salty water: Push the water through the membrane, get clean water suitable for agriculture, energy production and even drinking.
Engineers Find Antioxidants Improve Nanoscale Visualization Of Polymers
Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage.
New Piezoelectric Material Remains Effective To High Temperatures
Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space exploration.
Inexpensive Battery Charges Rapidly For Electric Vehicles, Reduces Range Anxiety
A team of Penn State engineers are looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes.
