Inspired by the water collecting abilities of the cactus, researchers create a biomimetic water collection system through 3D printing.
Photo-sensitive materials to remove harmful pesticides from drinking water
Scientists have developed a new method to clean atrazine from drinking water using a new photo-sensitive material and sunlight.
Providing Safe, Clean Water: Magnetic Nanoparticles with Ionic Liquids for Water Purification
Researchers removed metals and organic impurities from water using magenetic nanoparticles that contain an ionic liquid phase.
Cleaning Up After Fast Fashion
A green, renewable, and environmentally friendly strategy to remove toxic dye from wastewater.
Nanofilter for Quick and Clean Water
A nano-filter that can rapidly clean dirty water over 100 times faster than current technologies.
Measuring the Human Right to Water
The right to water requires that governments ensure water is available, accessible, safe, affordable and acceptable for human consumption. At this point in time, however, there is little consensus on how to measure and verify a country’s compliance with that right.
How to Extract Clean Water from the Ground: We’re No Longer Stumped!
Tree roots and stumps help to safely and cleanly extract ground water for human consumption.
Catching Fresh Water
Scientists discover a way to harvest fresh water from air, also in arid regions.
Nanostructured Water Treatment Membranes Based on Thermotropic Liquid Crystals [Video]
A team of researchers design sub-nanoporous, selective membranes for water treatment using self-assembled liquid crystal (LC) monomers. The membranes show salt rejection ability, ion selectivity, and excellent water permeability.
Solar-Powered Water Purifier
Students build an efficient and inexpensive still to produce drinking water which they call a “solar vapor generator”.
