New Strategy to Decontaminate Polluted Soils Using Nanoparticles and Bioremediation

Researchers at the Basque Institute of Agricultural Research and Development Neiker-Tecnalia are working on a strategy to cure soils polluted by organic compounds containing chlorine (organochlorine compounds). The novel process involves integrating zero-iron nanoparticles in bioremediation methods. The companies Ekotek and Dinam, Gaiker-IK4 and the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country are also taking part in this project called as NANOBIOR.

Researcher Receives KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund to Develop Nano-Scale Magnetic Material

The KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund has awarded $20,000 to Dr Jérôme Leveneur, a researcher in the Environment and Materials division of GNS Science¹s National Isotope Centre, to create an innovative nano-scale magnetic material. The magnetic material composed of nanostructures created by Dr Leveneur is 1000 times thinner that a human hair. The material’s improved properties over the traditional magnetic materials can be attributed to its small scale. This latest development could be exploited to enhance the energy efficiency of inductors and transformers.
