One of the most important applications of nanoporous thin films is in gas separation, where they are used to selectively filter out different gases from a mixture based on their molecular size, shape, ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...

When the components in the mixture of solutions are moved forward in the mobile phase by the material moving the sample, these components pass through the stationary phase. The difference in size and ...

The global food processing industry is increasingly dependent on separation, filtration and purification equipment. Used to help preserve the quality of food and extend shelf life, these elements are ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles. (Nanowerk News) Separating nanosized ...

One of the hydrogen economy's roadblocks to success is the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen needs to be purified before it can be used as fuel for fuel cells, but current methods are not very clean or ...
