A functional dialysis membrane has been fabricated from a sheet of graphene -- a single layer of carbon atoms, linked end to end in hexagonal configuration like that of chicken wire. The graphene ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers led by Hyung Gyu Park of the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich have produced a stable porous membrane that is thinner than a nanometer. This is ...

A team of Korean researchers have made a membrane that can turn saltwater into freshwater in minutes. The membrane rejected 99.99% of salt over the course of one month of use, providing a promising ...

As someone who's been writing about cool developments in the tech space for far too long now, I'm quite familiar with graphene. I can't go a few months without reading about some new use for this ...

A "straight out of science fiction" liquid membrane developed by a team of Penn State mechanical engineers acts as a "reverse filter" that lets large objects through while blocking small ones. The ...

Scientists in Australia have developed new ultra-thin filters that can separate valuable chemicals from liquid mixtures fast and efficiently to make medicines, dyes and other products, which could ...
