The aviation industry accounted for 2.5% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). It means there is a significant challenge, which the industry acknowledges. That is to transition, especially in terms of fuelling aircraft, in order to meet Net Zero targets and deliver a low-carbon future. One of the potential … Continued

Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that. Researchers at Monash University have developed a groundbreaking water filtration membrane that effectively removes small PFAS molecules, overcoming a significant challenge faced by conventional water filters. The research team designed a beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) modified graphene oxide (GO-βCD) membrane with … Continued
