#Self-assembling, biomimetic membranes may aid water filtration A synthetic membrane that self assembles and is produced easily may lead to better gas separation,
water purification, drug delivery and DNA recognition, according to an international team of researchers. This biomimetic membrane is composed of lipids--fat molecules
"The most obvious use of these channels is perhaps to make highly efficient water purification membranes,
But the Colorado river basinhich provides critical water supplies for seven states including Californias the victim of a slower-burning catastrophe entering its 16th year.
or above-average rainfall before California's water supply can return to anything close to normal. What about a lot of rain?
it seems that"the engineering that made settling the West possible may have reached the bounds of its potential"eaning that even the big dams
and canals we built to ferry all this water may now be causing more harm than good.
mismanagement of the water supply has left the West more vulnerable to both short and long-term changes in climate.
For all of the warnings people in the West get about taking shorter showers and turning off sprinklers,
It is far from the only urban strain on the West's water supplies but its approach to growth is emblematic of cities from Phoenix to San diego. Denver's metro population hit 2. 7 million in 2013, more than three times
and creative ad campaigns are finding varying degrees of success. The state has cut deliveries of water to farmers through the state and federal aqueduct systems,
"and local counties are exploring how to desalinate ocean water to replenish water supplies. Some enterprising individuals are even proposing to revive old plans to tow icebergs
or by capturing shower water from inside for their gardens outside, for instance. The drought has inspired also innovation in water conservation for restaurants, pools and lawns.
Meanwhile, others have been caught stealing water from their neighbors and drought-shaming campaigns have multiplied online. To the extent that climate change exacerbates the drought
California gets 16 percent of its surface waterater that comes from snowpack, streams and riversrom the Colorado river via two huge aqueducts.
The California Aqueduct runs beneath mountains into Riverside County and eventually toward Los angeles, providing a substantial supply for both L a. and San diego. The All-American Canal moves water along the tail-end of the Colorado river near the Mexican border, nourishing one of the state's most valuable agriculture areas,

and sink (the goat) are sequence-specific DNA molecules that root out single-nucleotide variant targets in solutions that also include healthy ild-typesequences.
The toehold-based sinks bind to the wild-type DNA and leave the probes to seek out mutations in the target DNA.
Under the right conditions (based on the sequences, the simulation-aided design of the probe and sink
Beebe says scaling down the testing environment in the group research is akin to moving from a lake to a bathtub:
This new method is a bit like scaling down from a lake to a bathtub as scientists describe it.
#Crowd-sourced computing reveals how to make better water filters with nanotubes Crowd-sourced computing has helped an international research team including researchers from the University of Sydney discover a new method of improving water filtration systems and water quality.
the Computing for Clean water project was able to expand these simulations to probe flow rates of just a few centimeters per second characteristic of the working conditions of real nanotube-based filters,
The pair commenced their work together as members of the Computing for Clean water project five years ago. omputing for Clean water,
Ultimately this will help design new carbon nanotube based membranes for water filtration with reduced energy consumption. rowd-sourced computing power was essential to the success of our project.
NEC delivers cutting-edge technology that offers municipal water utility companies a cost-effective way to manage water resources to help meet the water needs of the communities they serve.
NEC installs high-precision sensors that measure vibrations of water pipes to collect data on leaks in a community water system.

#Glasses-free 3d screen technology Stereo-Step-Eclipse technology provides the ability to display video in stereoscopic 3d on a screen.
This means that the crystals can filter huge volumes of industrial wastewater, trapping large amounts of contaminants including carcinogenic material and heavy metals.
#Researchers develop catalyst to remove endocrine disruptor from wastewater Researchers from the Carnegie mellon University in US
which claimed to remove endocrine disruptor from wastewater. Researchers claimed that the tiny man-made catalysts can purify drinking water
and waterways by getting rid of oestrogenic hormones and pharmaceuticals, usually pass through conventional wastewater treatment methods. The TAML activators can activate nature's own oxidants hydrogen peroxide
and oxygen can remove ethynylestradiol (EE2), a contraceptive pill hormone from wastewater. Around 1, 360 sewage plants in the UK are likely to fail the European union proposed standards for EE2
according to government estimates. Upgrades for the facilities with ozone or carbon-activated treatment technology will not only involve tens of billions of Euros,
but will also leave behind massive carbon footprints. TAML activators can thus be a cost-effective solution,
since just a kilogram of catalyst can be used to treat tens of thousands of tons of wastewater.
which opens the door to large-scale improvements in wastewater treatment which could be achieved by retro-fitting TAML treatment rather than building expensive high-energy plants."
