New polymer mat able to fish biologically harmful contaminants from water

There’s a new water treatment mat that acts like a miniaturized fishing net for water pollutants. Devised by Texan researchers, it can bait, hook, and destroy toxic chemicals in water supplies, according to a ScienceDaily article. Developed by the Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT) Center, the mat uses titanium dioxide to break down pollutants. It can be made as big or […]

Science breakthrough removes nearly all BPA from water at very low cost

A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Auckland, and Oregon State University has recently developed a catalyst that effectively eliminates nearly all traces of bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The new catalysts, called tetra-amido macrocyclic ligands (TAML) activators are small molecules that are known to mimic oxidizing enzymes. According to the researchers, combining the […]
