New Nanomaterials and Processes Could Free Water from Pathogens
New Nanomaterials and Processes Could Free Water from Pathogens Written by AZoNanoApr 30 2021 Biology teaches us that water is life. But reality teaches something else: Hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to contaminated water containing pathogens in places where there is a lack or poor functioning of water treatment. Empa researchers are developing novel filter systems made of composite materials such as ceramic granules with a copper nanocoating as depicted here (electron microscopy, colored).
