Scientists have long eyed graphene—an atom-thin, ultra-strong material—as a promising alternative for gas separation, but making large-area, efficient graphene membranes has been a challenge.

Now, a team at EPFL, led by Professor Kumar Agrawal, has developed a scalable technique to create porous graphene membranes that selectively filter CO₂ from gas mixtures. Their approach slashes ...

Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using electricity and new membranes. Desalination plants, a major and growing source ...

In a study published in Nature Chemical Engineering, researchers at EPFL developed a scalable method for producing porous graphene membranes that efficiently separate carbon dioxide. A graphene ...

J Midwifery Womens Health. 2009;54(3):259-260. Stripping membranes, sometimes called membrane sweeping, is a method used to try to start labor. The health care provider puts her or his finger into ...

Recently, there has been an increased interest in eggshell membrane supplements owing to their supposed health benefits. The eggshell membrane, a clear, thin layer located between the eggshell and ...

Her cervix was closed and thick. Membranes were intact. At 5 PM she returned with every 4- to 5-minute contractions, complaining of extreme back pain. Her cervix was unchanged from the first exam.

This Discussion will explore the various facets of membrane asymmetry, bringing together experts in membrane physical chemistry, membrane biophysics, and membrane physiology. On behalf of the ...

Vasa previa is a rare complication that can occur during pregnancy. It happens when some of the blood vessels that connect your baby's umbilical cord to your placenta cross over, or near, the ...
