Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

Firstly, since sorbents can separate molecules from each other, finding new sorbents that can do this as efficiently as possible will reduce the energy needed for each separation. For adsorption to help with healthcare and environmental issues, scientists need to develop new adsorbent materials that are more energy efficient.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And I spent much of the summer of 1972 writing my own (unseen by anyone else for 30+ years) Concise Directory of Physics that included a rather stiff page about energy, mentioning entropy—along with the heat death of the universe. It was also the time of the “new math”, and a host of other STEM-related educational initiatives.)
