TL;DR: Nanophotonics-enabled solar membrane distillation (NESMD) is demonstrated, where highly localized photothermal heating induced by solar illumination alone drives the distillation process, entirely eliminating the requirement of heating the input water.

TL;DR: A suite of high-throughput methods to study nanotoxicity in intact animals using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model is presented and the effects of nanomaterial size, shape, surface chemistry, and exposure conditions on toxicity are investigated.

TL;DR: This work suggests that addition of selective ion exchange resins on the surface of a carbon electrode could be a generally applicable approach to achieve selective removal of target ions in a CDI process.

TL;DR: Implementing interfacially active, pH-responsive polymer-coated nanoparticles (PNPs) to reversibly stabilize, recover, and break oil/water emulsions through variation of solution pH demonstrates the applicability of PNPs as surface active materials for enhanced oil recovery processes and for heavy oil transport.

TL;DR: In this article , two composite coatings, the silane coupling agent-dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (SCA/DCPD) and the SILANE coupling agent−calcium carbonate (SCa/CaCO3) were developed to reduce the degradation of magnesium alloy, and have their own advantages.
