We’re all about letting our inner light shine, but aren’t so crazy about it when it comes to our skin — except if you’re Doja Cat and have bedazzled your body for Paris Fashion Week. In that case, ...

Although we've seen many materials designed for removing oil spills from water, many of them are single-use, ultimately ending up in landfills. Now, however, scientists have created an oil-absorbing ...

New research published in the journal Industrial Engineering and Chemical Research describes the development of a smart sponge capable of selectively absorbing oil in water. The research comes from ...

During the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, citizens used social media to share health effects, odor, smoke, whether wildlife was effected, and if there was oil onshore or, as shown here, in the water.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- A Northwestern University-led team has developed a highly porous smart sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, ...

Sponges similar to an ordinary kitchen or memory foam sponge may soon clean up oil spills, courtesy of Northwestern researchers. The environmental subgroup of McCormick Prof. Vinayak Dravid’s lab is ...

A team from Northwestern University has developed a highly porous smart sponge that can selectively soak up oil spills in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the ...
