A research study will be conducted by the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) to examine the environmental impacts of reverse osmosis technology which is currently used to turn salt water ...

Osmosis through semi-permeable pores is a complex process by which solvent is driven by its free energy gradient towards a solute-rich reservoir. We have studied osmotic flow across a semi-permeable ...

New research into osmosis-driven behavior now provides a more granular theoretical understanding of the deterministic mechanisms, report scientists in two new papers. The first paper deconstructs the ...

A persistent problem as science continues to grow is the difficulty with which knowledge can percolate from one field to another. This problem, which I discuss in my book The Half-Life of Facts, can ...

QinetiQ North America announced today the results of another successful experiment completed on board the final flight of the space shuttle Atlantis (STS-135) in July 2011. The experiment, the first ...
