Rice researchers look to ‘trap and zap’ coronavirus
Rice University researchers plan to reconfigure their “trap and zap” wastewater-treatment technology to capture and deactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.
New nano strategy fights superbugs
Rice researchers imprint carbon nitride nanosheets to catch and kill free-floating antibiotic resistant genes found in secondary effluent produced by wastewater treatment plants. The strategy would prevent the DNA molecules from making downstream bacteria more resistant to drugs.
Rice engineers find a way to turn water pollution into valuable chemicals
Rice University researchers have identified a simpler way to rid water of cancer-causing pollutants and turn them into valuable chemicals.
