A team of applied physicists has demonstrated the formation of semipermeable vesicles from inorganic clay. The research shows that clay vesicles provide an ideal container for the compartmentalization ...

Mixtures of oil and water can be efficiently separated by pumping them into thin channels between semipermeable membranes, paving the way to cheaper and cleaner ways to deal with industrial waste.

In conventional infusion processes, the vacuum system ideally draws resin in and draws air out to reduce the incidence of surface porosity and laminate voids. But despite the use of bleeders and ...
