New 3D Imaging Technique Could Lead to Better Antifouling Materials

It is a well-known fact that oil and water never mix completely together. However, isolating them fully—for instance, when purifying water contaminated through fracking or cleaning up an oil spill—is an extremely inefficient and difficult process that often depends on membranes that are likely to get “fouled” or clogged up.
