U.S. tap water is generally safe and high quality. But that doesn’t mean every glass tastes the same, or that every building’s plumbing delivers identical water to the faucet. That uncertainty has ...

Graphene, renowned for its strength and conductivity, is poised to revolutionize clean water initiatives. At GraphIN 2026, experts showcased graphene-based technologies that enhance water purification ...

Over time, cinnabar washed away from rainfall and seeped into the surrounding soil and water. But while a contaminant like ...

Dr. Hong-Ju Lee and Dr. In-Hyuk Song of the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science ...

Researchers have synthesized a bio-inspired polymer for water purification. The polymer was designed to mimic phytochelatin, a plant protein that selectively captures and neutralizes harmful heavy ...

In Cassandra Callmann and her team’s proof-of-concept, the sticky materials removed heavy metals including cadmium and lead. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans ...

Tap water for about 1 in 3 Americans could contain a byproduct from the decontamination process that may be toxic, according to a study published Thursday. For over a century, public water systems ...

A groundbreaking study introduces a novel self-purifying water treatment system, featuring CoFe quantum dots embedded in graphene nanowires. This system efficiently removes over 70% of various ...

The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...

Phoenix is receiving $179 million in federal funding to build a new water purification facility. The North Gateway facility will treat up to 8 million gallons of wastewater daily, converting it into ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their ...
