In this month’s Physics World, Jason Reese, Weir Professor of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mecha- nics at the University of Strathclyde, describes the role that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could play in the desalination of water, providing a possible solution to the problem of the world‘s ever-growing population demanding more and more fresh drin- king water.


Reese has, however, shown that CNTs can rea- listically expect to have water permeability 20 times that of modern commercial reverse-osmosis membranes, greatly reducing the cost and energy required for desalination. Additionally, CNTs are highly efficient at repelling salt ions, more so becau- se specific chemical groups can be attached to them to create a specific “gatekeeper” function.


The Sunday Times Complete University Guide 2011 has again rated Mechanical Engineering at Strathc- lyde as Number 1 in Scotland and an impressive 8th overall in the UK (from a total of 66).

The Division of Surface Engineering &. Remanu- facturing, the Ningbo Institute of Materials Tech- nology &. Engineering (NIMTE) has recently made a series of progress in the development of printa- ble low-cost copper ink. Financially supported by the Zhejiang Natural Science Foundation, Xiong Jing, a doctoral candidate and Wang Ye, an engine- er OF NIMTE developed an environmental friendly and pollution free synthesis route of highly stable nanosized copper particles. The resulting colloid can be restored in air without oxidization, by using Vitamin C as both the reductant and dressing agent; which paved the way for making copper conductive ink and other applications.
