Don't wait, desalinate: new water purification system cuts cost, energy expenses
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

A water purification system created by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology separates salt and unnecessary particles with an electrified version of dialysis. Successfully applied to wastewater, the method saves money and saps 90% less energy than its counterparts.

Let’s see some ID: simulated molecular bouncer helps track protein movement across the nuclear membrane
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

If the human cell is a nightclub, then the nucleus is a VIP lounge fiercely maintained by the nuclear pore complex. By modeling a dynamic simulation of the NPC, Beckman physicists have theorized as to why some proteins enter the nucleus more readily than others.
