Ultrasound system can remove common plastic pollutant from water
The system, developed by chemists from UofG, can scrub up to 94% of the traces of Bisphenol A (BPA) from samples of contaminated water by using ultrasound to create conditions similar to the surface of the sun in bubbles of contaminated water. Scaled-up versions of their prototype could be used in water treatment plants to help remove BPA from water supplies. It could also help industry remove BPA & other hard-to-treat pollutants from waste water before it s discharged into public waterways. -

New rocket test facility will support UK space sector’s stellar ambitions
MachLab was established by researchers from the University of Glasgow and backed by close to £500,000 in funding from industry, including matched contribution from the UK Space Agency. It aims to support the research and development of new rocket engines capable of delivering up to one tonne of thrust. Researchers from academia and industry will be able to fire experimental rocket designs and gather data on their performance using MachLab’s custom-built test stand.
