A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt from water without relying on the terminal electrodes found in every ...

Unlike centrifugal pumps, positive displacement sliding vane pumps are dry-run capable, which means they do not need to be pre-primed, resulting in higher suction-lift ...

The peristaltic pump is perhaps most well known for its ability to pump fluids without the pump mechanism coming into contact with the working fluid. This is key for food-safe applications and other ...

Plants, like humans, need to move sugar and other nutrients around their bodies to power their growth. But unlike humans, they do not have a heart to pump these vital nutrients. Instead, they use an ...

Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...
