In hopes of limiting the disastrous environmental effects of massive oil spills, materials scientists have teamed up to manufacture and test a new material, called a boron nitride nanosheet, that can ...
Absorbent socks are essential for any maintenance shop to keep spills, messes, and leaks in check. These long, sock-like tubes resemble draft stoppers in appearance but are filled with absorbent ...
Researchers from Deakin University have invented a new sponge material made of thin, nanosheeting that is highly absorbent, allowing the technology to reduce the impact of oil spills. “Current methods ...
(Nanowerk News) In hopes of limiting the disastrous environmental effects of massive oil spills, materials scientists from Drexel University and Deakin University, in Australia, have teamed up to ...
Chinese scientists have developed a new material from moss that could transform how we clean up oil spills. The team from Guizhou Education University modified sphagnum moss to absorb oil while ...
A new, absorbent material could be of assistance in future oil spill accidents: a chemically modified nanocellulose sponge. The light material absorbs the oil spill, remains floating on the surface ...
We may have our best tool yet for fighting oil spills as researchers from Argonne National Lab have developed a new material that can absorb up to 90 times its weight in oil. The new technology works ...
In hopes of limiting the disastrous environmental effects of massive oil spills, Materials scientists from Drexel University and Deakin University, in Australia, have teamed up to manufacture and test ...
From carbon nanotubes to sawdust and cellulose to fern-inspired nano-hair, a multitude of materials are showing great promise for cleaning up oil spills. Now researchers have turned to waste products ...
For workplace spills, as with any type of workplace incident, the best solution is to avoid it in the first place. But despite measures to eliminate spills, they do happen. There are several common ...
Researchers drawn from Australia’s Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM), Philadelphia’s Drexel University, and the Missouri University of Science and Technology have created a revolutionary ...
We can’t seem to prevent oil spills, so the next best thing is mopping them up. Researchers at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, have come up with a super-absorbent nano sponge which you ...
