A group of scientists at the University of Manchester made the front cover of Nature Nanotechnology by presenting a strategy that could potentially sieve common salt out of water rendering it safe to drink. This could have a major impact on access to clean drinking water for many globally. Graphene-oxide…

In work recently published in Nature Nanotechnology, a group of scientists from the Universities of Manchester and Pisa demonstrated a simple way of engineering water-based 2D material inks. Using the new strategy, multi-stack fabrication was also achievable enabling the demonstration of all-inkjet-print heterostructure-based devices. The examples provided were arrays of photosensors  printed…
