With a sponge that looks like one you might find in your kitchen, Northwestern University researchers have discovered how to effectively clean up oil, microplastics and phosphate pollution.
A Northwestern Engineering-led team has developed a highly porous sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the sponge could be ...
Removing oil spills from bodies of water is a difficult business, with various approaches having met with mixed results over the years. Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Forestry believe they may ...
Researchers at Argonne National Lab have developed a 'sponge' that can absorb up to 90 times its weight in oil and can be reused up to 100 times. The researchers hope their tech can be used to clean ...
Drilling and fracking for oil under the seabed produces 100 billion barrels of oil-contaminated wastewater every year by releasing tiny oil droplets into surrounding water. Most efforts to remove oil ...
A team from Northwestern University has developed a highly porous smart sponge that can selectively soak up oil spills in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the ...
Seth Darling, Jeff Elam, Ed Barry conduct research experiments with the Oleo Sponge in Santa Barbara, California (Courtesy: Argonne National Laboratory) An easy-to-manufacture sponge-like material, ...
Oil spills could severely damage oceans and marine animals. Previously, a ship accident in Mauritius led to a massive oil spill that kept getting bigger. SHIHMEN, TAIWAN - MARCH 26: A resident shows ...
Scientists have fashioned a sponge out of carbon nanotubes and a bit of boron that hates water so much it absolutely refuses to soak up a single drop. But it loves oil. This, in turn, makes it ideal ...
