Improving the future of purification by using molecular silhouette to separate compounds in fluids

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Impure chemical mixtures can now be separated based on differences in molecular silhouette. Membranes have been developed with nanoscale pores that match the shape of impurities in the mix so that only the impurity can pass through. KAUST research...
