Cross Talks #11 - NanoCatRed
In our eleventh episode, Salomé Soares (Assistant Researcher at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto), Sérgio Silva (Founder & CEO of ADVENTECH) and Simon Humphrey (Professor at the UT Austin’s College of Natural Sciences) shared more about their project called NanoCatRed.
The group is developing nanoparticles that break down harmful inorganic contaminants, from water. Through a chemical reaction, these nanoparticles generate harmless products, thus reducing the health risks that inorganic contaminants impose on humans and the environment.
