Good portrait photography is as much art as it is science. There are technical details like composition and lighting, but there’s also a matter of connecting emotionally with the photo’s...
In search of a better way to desalinate water, a Yale-led team of researchers has turned to swimsuit material for inspiration.
Reverse osmosis, which uses membranes to remove unwanted salts, has been the gold standard for desalination and wastewater...
Asphalt is a near-ubiquitous substance — it’s found in roads, on roofs and in driveways — but its chemical emissions rarely figure into urban air quality management plans. A new study finds that asphalt is a significant source of air pollutants in urban...
