Water Treatment: Removing Hormones with Sunlight

(Photo: Markus Breig, KIT) Micropollutants such as steroid hormones contaminate drinking water worldwide and pose a significant threat to human health and the environment even in smallest quantities. Until now, easily scalable water treatment technologies that remove them efficiently and sustainably have been lacking. Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) developed a new chemical process for removing hormones. It takes advantage of the mechanisms of photocatalysis and transforms the pollutants into potentially safe oxidation products. The team reports on this in the scientific journal Applied Catalysis B: Environmental.

Lab postdocs invited to prestigious Heidelberg Forum

LLNL The international Heidelberg Laureate Forum invited Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory computational engineering postdoctoral researchers Felipe Leno da Silva, left, and Ruben Glatt to virtually attend the 2021 conference this September, where they will meet and interact with laureates of the major prizes in mathematics and computer science. Two Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) postdoctoral researchers are among a select group of 200 scientists invited to attend the 8 thHeidelberg Laureate Forum, an international conference that connects young researchers with laureates of the major prizes in mathematics and computer science. For a week in September, LLNL computational engineering postdocs Ruben Glatt and Felipe Leno da Silva will meet and interact with recipients of the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal and the Nevanlinna Prize. It is the second selection for the two researchers; Leno attended in 2018 and Glatt in 2017.
