Separation science is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to isolating, identifying and quantifying individual components from complex mixtures. It underpins progress in biotechnology, environmental ...

In this interview conducted at Pittcon 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we spoke to this year's recipient of the Satinder Ahuja Award for Young Investigations in Separation Science, Emanuela ...

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...

The glass industry has four major segments. The container glass segment produces glass packaging products, such as bottles and jars. The flat glass (or float glass) segment produces windows for ...

Lanthanide elements are important for clean energy and other applications. To use them, industry must separate mixed lanthanide sources into individual elements using costly, time-consuming, and waste ...

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 ...
