A UCLA-led team of engineers and chemists had a significant advancement in developing microbial fuel cells-a modern technology that uses natural bacteria to remove electrons from organic matter in wastewater to produce electrical currents. Research detailing the innovation was just recently released in Science. “Living energy-recovery systems using microorganisms inhabiting in wastewater offer a one-two punch […]

Students from Monash Chemical Engineering developed a sustainable, autonomous water treatment system that eliminates persistent organic pollutants from industrial wastewater using nature’s natural water treatment cycle as inspiration.  The unique Stand Alone Sunflow System (SASS) – developed by Ph.D. students Mostafa Dehghani and Mahdi Naseri, and also undergraduate student Clare Carew – utilizes conveniently accessible as

Both nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) work as gaseous signaling molecules with comparable physiological effects. Many of the vital concerns concerning the interplay between these two gasotransmitters hinge on their chemical reactivity and the fleeting existence of HSNO, an essential product of the reaction between them. As reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie,
