Deep sea sediment cores—they’re cold, they’re muddy, and they’re revealing 30,000 years of climate history—as PhD student Julia Gottschalk reports from her voyage aboard the James Cook research ship last summer

Christopher Cornelison, a Georgia State University post-doctoral researcher, is developing an anti-fungal treatment that could curb colony collapse disorder, a big threat to honeybees and the agricultural industry that relies on them.

The war on drugs could get a boost with a new method that analyzes sewage to track levels of illicit drug use in local communities in real time.

Less than a year after patenting a process that could improve stripping greenhouse gasses from industrial emissions, a University of Alabama engineering professor was recently granted another patent that uses a different solvent to accomplish the same goal.

Work aims to understand, abate pollution in China.

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Faculty of Engineering has developed a cost-effective solution for the control of indoor air pollution, especially from the haze. The development of this system is timely in light of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recent news on the risks of inhalation of particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), which has been linked to a range of cardiovascular and respiratory ailments, including cancer. The new system is easy to use and ideal for use in a range of indoor environments.

An assistant professor of chemical & biomolecular engineering at Clarkson University is pioneering a new purification process that, if successful, could help millions of people without access to clean water quickly and efficiently purify water to make it safe for drinking and cooking.

Technology capable of sampling water systems to find indicators of fecal matter contamination that are thousandths and even millionths of times smaller than those found by conventional methods is being developed by a team of researchers at Texas A&M University.

Analysis, elbow grease, and legwork can bring in new business at little or no cost

A group of McMaster University researchers has solved the problem of cumbersome, expensive and painfully slow water-testing by turning the process upside-down.

A University of Queensland-led research project that is fundamentally changing sewer corrosion and odour management in Australia has won the prestigious 2014 International Water Association Asia Pacific Regional Project Innovation Award for Applied Research.

Bruker has released an application note detailing a simple and convenient method for the quantification of trace pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in clean water, using Bruker’s EVOQ triple quadrupole liquid chromatography mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).
