In a significant stride toward cleaner water, researchers from IIT Madras and Tel Aviv University have engineered a new aerogel that’s adept at snatching pollutants right out of wastewater. This isn’t just any aerogel; it’s been jazzed up with graphene, and it’s showing off by pulling out more than three-quarters of impurities—even at incredibly low concentrations—in real-time flow. The team behind this science magic includes Prof. Rajnish Kumar from IIT Madras, who’s got a Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize sitting on his shelf, and Prof. Hadas Mamane from Tel Aviv University, who knows a thing or two about mechanical engineering. They, … Continue reading IIT Madras and Tel Aviv University Developed Graphene Aerogel for Wastewater Woes
