Aquaporin, forward osmosis and biomimetic membranes
General physiology and biophysics, 2013 Aquaporin attracted attention not only of physiologists and biophysicists, but also of chemical engineers. Here we critically analyze a paper describing aquaporin-based artificial membranes, suggested for forward osmosis-based water purification (Wang et al. 2012, Small 8, pp. 1185-1190).

Optimal Selection of Desalination Systems using Fuzzy AHP and Grey Relational Analysis
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016 Water scarcity is an alarming global problem for a growing population with depleting sources of fresh water. Desalination is thus becoming an important solution for water management to address such looming shortage of the municipal water supply.

Assisted reverse electrodialysis : a novel technique to decrease reverse osmosis energy demand [PDF]
, 2016 Assisted reverse electrodialysis (ARED) was introduced as a pre-desalination technique for seawater reverse osmosis (RO) for drinking water production. ARED is comparable to an additional applied pressure along the osmotic pressure in pressure assisted ...

Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.
