(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...

The application of laser radiation to initiate and control molecular processes has emerged as a transformative approach in chemical physics and separation science. By precisely targeting specific ...

Founded by MIT and Stanford PhDs, the startup offers cost-effective, climate-friendly technology to purify key molecules for alternative energy production Osmoses has developed a patented novel ...

A team has reported the first demonstration of selective electrochemical separation driven by halogen bonding. This was achieved by engineering a polymer that modulates the charge density on a halogen ...

KAUST researchers developed a machine learning tool, using nearly 10,000 nanofiltration measurements, to predict the most efficient and cost-effective separation technology for chemical mixtures.

How can aromatic compounds be separated from so-called aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie (Applied ...

Nanomembranes are a type of nanomaterial with ultra-thin structures at the nanometer scale and lateral dimensions that can extend to millimeters or even centimeters. These membranes are strong enough ...
