New Solvent Improves on an Emerging Desalination Technology Written by AZoMFeb 12 2021 Researchers predict that two-thirds of the global population could be affected by freshwater shortage by 2025. To address this problem, scientists from the University of Notre Dame have found that a new solvent—an ionic liquid—enhances a budding desalination technology: directional solvent extraction. Solvents. Image Credit: University of Notre Dame. Directional solvent extraction involves using a solvent to separate freshwater from a saline source with the help of low temperature thermal energy. This i...

Mange in Yellowstone wolves reveals insights into human scabies and conservation biology Liana Wait, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Jan. 25, 2021 9:30 a.m. Before wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s, they were vaccinated for common diseases and treated for any parasite infections they already carried. As a result, the first few generations of wolves were relatively disease-free, but over the years, various diseases have found their way into the population. Both of these Yellowstone wolves display the hair loss and skin lesions ass...
