Breakthrough graphene membrane can instantly transform sea water into drinkable fresh water

British researchers have developed a graphene oxide sieve designed to remove salt from seawater. The sieve may potentially be highly efficient in straining salt, which could help provide clean drinking water for millions of people who do not have a ready access to it. The researchers will now test the graphene sieve against current desalination membranes. […]

Researchers demonstrate efficient solar energy storage in a chemical liquid

One of the big challenges for solar energy systems is finding an efficient and cost-effective means of storing excess electricity that can be supplied whenever and wherever it is needed, instead of being limited to daytime. An article in Chalmers Chemistry and Chemical Engineering News stated that the latest version of a Swedish-designed, liquid-based energy […]

Future data storage: Magnetic swirls called skyrmions hold promise for condensing data

If you’ve ever had your data wiped out because of a faulty hard drive, or just can’t seem to get enough storage for your data, the development of things called skyrmions may be the next step in making sure your data never disappears again. Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have discovered that magnetic swirls […]

Nano-sized cellulose fibers beat spider silk in being the strongest material on Earth

What is the strongest material on Earth? If you answered “spider silk,” you have just named the former champion, now demoted to second place. In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers reported that new nanoscale cellulose fibers have become the Superman of building materials. Many of our scientific advances pale in comparison to what nature has developed and […]
