A new electrically powered filter can strip nearly all ammonia nitrogen from wastewater in just over a minute while also breaking down carbon-based pollution. Researchers have developed an electro-filtration process that uses chlorine oxide radicals (·ClO) generated inside a specialized membrane to remove nitrogen and organic contaminants simultaneously. Reported in Engineering, the technology could provide […]

Scientists Turn Plastic Waste Into Protein-Rich Cookies
Specialized microbes convert inedible materials into protein-rich snacks. A cookie made partly from molecules derived from plastic waste sounds more like a warning than a food experiment. But researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are using engineered yeast to transform components of discarded plastic and agricultural waste into proteins, vitamins, fats, flavorings, and other ingredients […]
Computer Scientist Pushes a 1996 Algorithm Beyond Its Longstanding Limit
A new algorithm solves a blind spot that has challenged computer scientists since 1996, improving distance estimates for nearby points in massive networks. Navigation apps usually solve one route at a time, such as finding the fastest way from a hotel to an airport. Computer scientists face a far larger version of that challenge: calculating […]
