A team of experts from Singapore has managed to give a new eco-friendly purpose to old glass. Scientists from Ngee Ann Polytechnic have designed a recycled glass-based porous ceramic membrane, used to purify raw water.
Their solution, launched through an ample project entitled GLASSwater is both green and cost-effec... |

There is an intensive hunt for finding what's behind the memory, the very chemical of the recalling. Now a team at Georgia Institute of Technology has found some molecular interactions on cell surfaces that could work like the "memory", changing the way the cells will interact in the future. The paper has been p... |

Some scientists are playing God, and they're getting increasingly closer to actually succeeding in this game. Within 3 to 10 years, some research team could even create man-assisted "wet artificial life.""We're talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways - in fact, in w... |

A new type of semiconductor membrane actually displays better electrical performances than its biological cousins and could find its way into many electronic applications, from single-molecule detection devices to DNA sequencing."By creating nanopores in the membrane, we can use the membrane to separate charged spec... |

From a commodity one hundred years ago, today water has turned into a must. But in densely populated dry areas, the obvious solution is to get drinking water from the sea. People have been obsessed for millennia with finding a way to get rid of the sea salt for achieving usable water. But so far, the costs of desalin... |
