An international team of researchers have found a better way to separate two rare and important gases—xenon and krypton—that ...

An international team of researchers, affiliated with UNIST has presented a novel hydrogen isotope separation system based on a porous metal organic framework (MOF). The isolation of deuterium from a ...

Deuterium is the heavy twin brother of hydrogen; however, it is more than 20 times rarer than identical twins. It accounts for only 0.015 percent of natural hydrogen and is twice as heavy as the light ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...

CROSS-LINKED dextran (‘Sephadex’) has been shown to possess properties of a molecular sieve 1. The size limits for effective molecular sieving depend on the degree of cross-linking. Molecules or ions ...

Transport channels with ultrahigh K+-selectivity against other monovalent ions (Na+) are crucial for living beings, but it is still a bottleneck to construct such biological ionic channels with ...

The patented process includes the use of stainless steels balls as a high-abrasion sieving aid, with the UNSW team saying that in tests they have been able to extract 99% of the components, including ...
