Energy Economics and Policy. Enhanced Oil Recovery and Carbon Management. Many unconventional sources of hydrocarbons have become more challenging to extract using conventional technology. Producers are increasingly exploring the concept of "downhole chemistry," which involves pretreating or processing the product while it is still in the ground. Rice is one of the nation's leading research centers for catalytic chemistry, which is especially important for downhole chemistry and refining.

Great things from small things. Filter by: Nano Water Filters. Could a Commercially Viable – Revolutionary Graphene Filter – 9X Faster – Solve the Global Water Crisis? Nano Enabled Water Treatment. The research team was led by Associate Professor Mainak Majumder from Monash University. Associate Professor Majumder said the key to making their filter was developing a viscous form of graphene. Oxide that could be spread very thinly with a blade. This technique allows the filters to be produced much faster ...

Energy Economics and Policy. Enhanced Oil Recovery and Carbon Management. Water and energy are two of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. It's no secret that clean, abundant supplies of energy and water are needed to both avoid economic scarcity and to safeguard the environment. Yet the direct relationship between water and energy - the water-energy nexus - cannot be understated. Improving development of reserves (for example, reservoir souring and corrosion). Safety in use, reuse, and treatment.

Ions, not particles, make silver toxic to bacteria
http://news.rice.edu/2012/07/11/ions-not-particles-make-silver-toxic-to-bacteria-3
Rice University News and Media. Rice University News and Media. Ions, not particles, make silver toxic to bacteria. July 11, 2012. SUMMARY: Rice researchers settle a long-standing controversy on the mechanism by which silver nanoparticles kill bacteria and they find that using too little can help bacteria build immunity. Ions, not particles, make silver toxic to bacteria. Rice University researchers report too small a dose may enhance microbes’ immunity. Their work comes with a Nietzsche-esque. But scien...
