Interesting technology with many potential uses. Thanks for posting.
One application is surgery. But they don't tell us what this 'space-age material' is made of.
Were liquid properties manipulated with chemicals? Are these chemicals toxic? Is it safe to cover open wounds? Can you survive the surgery only to die of cancer later? What happens if this space-age liquid enters the bloodstream? How will it affect cell function if absorbed by the body?
An interesting material looking for a real-world use.
That’s amazing. Thanks for posting.

so i can drive my car through it but my chihuahua won’t be able to pass through? What if the chihuahua is in hte car? Questions, Questions!
Separating egg yolks seems like a good use of this...
Amazing...
If it ever goes retail, I’m putting a couple in my G.O.O.D. bag...
Guessing it has something to do with the ratio of surface tension and the amount of charge on the liquid particles in the filter.
Cool stuff. Wonder how it does with liquids - I could see a pipe lined with this stuff over a catch tray. As the liquid passes any debris falls through the bottom while the liquid passes right along.
“’The membrane filter could potentially prevent germs, dust or allergens from reaching an open wound, while still allowing a doctor to perform surgery safely,’ said Tak-Sing Wong from Penn State University”
Sounds remarkable, but can we really trust a guy to fly an airplane who can’t follow directions when taxiing?
Cool Tech PING
