(PhysOrg.com) -- President Barack Obama's pursuit of energy independence promises to accelerate research and development for alternative energy sources -- solar, wind and geothermal power, biofuels, ...

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 ...

When the components in the mixture of solutions are moved forward in the mobile phase by the material moving the sample, these components pass through the stationary phase. The difference in size and ...

Tangential flow filtration (TFF) has revolutionized biomolecule separation and purification across life science fields, including immunology, protein chemistry and molecular biology. However, ...

Fundamental researchers have proposed a novel two-part system for separating impurities from natural gas. Natural gas primarily contains methane, but impurities in the gaseous mixture need to be ...

The global food processing industry is increasingly dependent on separation, filtration and purification equipment. Used to help preserve the quality of food and extend shelf life, these elements are ...

One of the hydrogen economy's roadblocks to success is the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen needs to be purified before it can be used as fuel for fuel cells, but current methods are not very clean or ...

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 ...
