Controversial Chemical-Desalination Plants-Plastics Industry-Efficient Power-Water Droplets

Bisphenol A exposure linked to increased risk of future onset of heart disease

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a controversial chemical widely used in the plastics industry. A new study followed people over a 10-year time period and shows that healthy people with higher urine concentrations of BPA were more likely to later develop Heart Disease. read more..


Making droplets drop faster: New nanopatterned surfaces could improve the efficiency of powerplants and desalination systems

New research offers important new insights into how water droplets form, and ways to pattern the collecting surfaces at the nanoscale to encourage droplets to form more rapidly. These insights could enable a new generation of significantly more efficient power plants and desalination plants, the researchers say. read more..
