Pearl Membrane Photo used for RMS Digital Calendar
RMS has used Stephanie Ribet's Pearl-fect Membrane image for the April image of their digital calendar. "The Phosphate Elimination And Recovery Lightweight (PEARL) membrane, a reusable nanocomposite material, can be used to selectively sequester phosphate ions from polluted waters. From this false colored scanning electron microscope image, we can see the porous and hierarchical nature of the PEARL membrane, which leads to its effective remediation performance.
