Defects Help Nanomaterial Soak Up More Pollutant in Less Time
Cleaning pollutants from water with a defective filter sounds like a non-starter, but a recent study by chemical engineers at Rice University found that the right-sized defects helped a molecular sieve soak up more perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in less time.
Largest Carbon Dioxide Sink in Renewable Forests
Forests are the filters of our Earth: They clean the air, remove dust particles, and produce oxygen.
Using Machine Learning to Improve Subseasonal Climate Forecasting
