Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...

Researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University and Pennsylvania State University have developed a novel technique of separating cells with the use of a gentle sound wave. The technique could ...

The past October marked an exciting time for those in the field of isotopic science. Two brand new approaches to isolate and enrich light elements have been reported. Although a variety of elements ...

A new method of separating isotopes using lasers has been unveiled by scientists in the US. In the short term, the technique could be used to purify lithium-7, which is used to cool nuclear reactors.

The magnetic power to attract—and repel—is used in several different ways to sort and separate materials within recycling streams. Magnets can be seen everywhere across the recycling spectrum. From ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...
