For remote and underdeveloped areas, unfortunately, these technologies are not within reach. This situation led two chemists to a simple, yet brilliant idea to transform bore water into a potable one. Through electrochemistry, Dr. Hilary Nath and Associate Professor Alan Langdon […]

Thinking at a molecular and atomic level when speaking about technology makes me wonder even more. Even if I consider myself a logic person, extremely small and extremely large objects impress me.
