Developing electrokinetic mining technology for recovering rare earth elements from weathering crusts
Heavy rare earth elements are critical for modern technological applications, but their extraction can have disastrous environmental impacts. Employing electrokinetic mining techniques can increase recovery efficiency while reducing harmful environmental consequences.
Spread it out: mRNA advantage for antibody coverage against SARS type viruses
To what extent do vaccine and infection determine the antibody responses of an individual in terms of breadth and magnitude to a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 and relevant viruses? Here is your answer.
Comparing the Toxicity of Conventional Drinking Waters and Municipal Wastewaters Purified as Drinking Water Supplies
While utilities in arid regions are increasingly purifying municipal wastewater as a sustainable water supply, lingering concerns about health risks have hindered implementation. Our recent study indicates that the toxicity of potable reuse waters is equal or lower than conventional drinking waters.
