Membrane research may reach far
Pinkhassik and a team of graduate students and post-doctoral students are working to devise a process for creating thin manmade membranes. The very science is intriguing enough, but the potential applications and benefits of such a membrane are astounding to contemplate. "We believe our membrane can improve existing processes and be adapted to new uses, making theoretical applications become reality."
