UK programme strengthens defences against severe space weather
August 6, 2026
As the UK becomes increasingly aware of the risks posed by extreme weather, researchers are also strengthening the country’s ability to respond to another natural hazard: severe solar storms. New forecasting tools developed through the £20m Space Weather Innovation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk (SWIMMR) programme are now helping to protect satellites, aviation, GPS navigation and […]
Graphene oxide membrane could cut energy needed for solvent purification
August 5, 2026
Researchers at the University of Bath have helped develop a graphene oxide membrane that could reduce the energy required to purify one of the chemical industry’s most widely used solvents. Working with an international team led by KU Leuven, the researchers demonstrated a membrane technology capable of separating water from isopropanol more quickly and with […]

A matter of fine detail
July 27, 2026
Your physical lab environment looks secure; now it’s time to take a more granular approach to design, advises Ricky Williams. Small changes reap big gains. Laboratory design is often discussed in terms of major infrastructure: ventilation, utilities, key equipment specification and compliance. Those elements are clearly important but, in day-to-day practice, the difference between a […]

An alternative solution to rotary evaporators for solvent evaporation
June 23, 2026
Concentrators (nitrogen blowdown concentrators) are increasingly used as an alternative to rotary evaporators because they evaporate solvents quickly while saving valuable laboratory space. Evaporation is accelerated by lowering the solvent’s partial vapour pressure above the liquid surface. These systems use either a heated water bath or dry block heating with programmable temperatures, combined with a […]
