As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with purification membranes through polymer chemistry is leading ...

Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types ... in water, but their unique ...

Rice University’s Menachem Elimelech was honored with the Sidney Loeb Award at the European Desalination Society Conference held in Porto, Portugal, April 28. The award recognizes his pioneering ...

The study suggested different promising ways to mitigate both types of scaling, including densely packed polymer chains that attract water being grafted onto the surface of the membrane.
