In this article, we take a closer look at a research on coalescence of oil droplets using microporous membranes. In the case of oil-water emulsion, the separation by using the polymeric microporous membrane behaves differently and molecular sieving mechanism may not be applicable. Oil droplets in water are instable and tend to coalesce to form larger droplets. Contrarily, smaller oil droplets are more stable and the leaning to merge with each other is low.

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) have developed an IoT-based portable biosensor for the rapid detection of E. Coli O157:H7. Ensuring the safety of food is a top global public health priority. Food contamination by pathogens or pollutants poses a significant threat to human health, especially for individuals at higher risk of infection, such as newborns, young children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
