A team of researchers at Penn State have developed a plant-based nanomaterial capable of selectively extracting dysprosium from rare earth mixtures, according to a recent report. The findings ...

In this month's LCGC Blog, Hayley Brawley and Alexia Kreinbrink explore the challenges facing chromatographers when exploring the complex world of metal speciation. Studying metals in biology is much ...

This article takes a deep dive into the history of proteomics from the conception of the term “proteome” up to modern-day advances in bioinformatics and single-cell protein analysis.

Jessica Rimsza, a materials engineer at Sandia National Laboratories, sees untapped potential in what most people see as waste. Food scraps, manure and sewage are natural byproducts of the U.S.

Accurate particle size analysis is vital for mining and geology, driving efficiency, regulatory compliance, and the ...

Industrial separations sit quietly at the heart of modern manufacturing, yet they consume enormous amounts of energy and generate significant environmental costs. A new membrane technology developed ...

Imagine trying to filter sand from pebbles using a fishing net: it won’t work because the holes are too big and uneven. In chemistry, separating molecules that are almost the same size is just as ...
