NAMS celebrates International Membrane Day – April 14. From the pioneers who took the first steps on membrane formation, to the innovators who created robust membrane separation technologies for industrial breakthrough applications, efficient energy, clean water, safe food, and better health, to the new generation of membrane dreamers who will push the frontiers of the membrane world in this still young, but soon to become a mature XXI century, and beyond. To mark this day, NAMS highlights key membrane separation applications and their societal impact—while leaving space to ask an important question: what comes next? 💬 We invite the community to join the conversation, share their perspectives, spark valuable discussion, and inspire future innovations: • Which membrane separation has had the greatest impact so far? · What stands out as truly game-changing, and why? · What new separations or applications will be unlocked in the next 10 years? Let’s celebrate past achievements and shape the future of membrane science together. #InternationalMembraneDay #NAMS #MembraneScience #SeparationTechnology

Summer at @NDnano offers mentored research experiences for students, who are paired with faculty at the University of Notre Dame.➡️Read the 2024 project summaries, where students recap their research experience: bit.ly/3YMErrj. 🗓️Plan now: 2025 application opens in Dec!

“Refrigeration might not be the first thing that comes to mind as we think about protecting the environment, but it is a critical energy sustainability challenge." Notre Dame is part of a new @NSF-funded Engineering Research Center developing next-generation refrigerant technology: go.nd.edu/69d41b

(11!) Faculty in ND Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, and Law are excited to accelerate advancements towards sustainable cooling and heating @NDengineering @NDCBE @DowlingLab @YamilJColon @Phillip_Lab @ejmaginn

Cosmetics. Fast-food wrappers. Period products. Dental floss. Eye drops. Firefighter turnout gear. These are just a few of the items in which we've found PFAS. See how Notre Dame is developing new ways to measure and manage these forever chemicals: go.nd.edu/PFASproblem

Excited to share some of our work, led by our student Dinis Abranches on: Stochastic machine learning via sigma profiles to build a digital chemical space | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… @ejmaginn @NDCBE

A research team led by @kdoudrick assessed the mass transfer performance of a porous polyamide adsorptive membrane for removing #PFAS from #drinkingwater under varying conditions. Learn more from ACS ES&T Engineering: go.acs.org/8Wx

What is a "forever chemical?" "They are incredibly resilient and don’t break down naturally, so they are hard to destroy," said @NDEngineering professor Kyle Doudrick. He shares ways to filter out some PFAS chemicals at home with @ConversationUS: go.nd.edu/1c5689
