Scientists have discovered that moringa seeds can help pull microplastics out of water, rivaling standard chemical treatments ...

Moringa seed extract can remove microplastics from water by causing the particles to clump together for easy filtration. It ...

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 ...

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 ...

Access to safe, clean water varies across the globe. Vital to life, this is a problem scientists are trying to fix. Researchers have been turning to smart materials for a solution, engineered ...

In Brazil, scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology of São Paulo State University (ICT-UNESP) are working on a ...

Industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have led to a decline in water quality, leaving 1.8 billion people without enough water and 4 billion facing water shortages for at least one ...

Turning on the tap and filling a glass of water feels like one of the simplest, safest acts in daily life. Yet the science, the data, and the growing wave of regulatory battles tell a far more ...
