Rhodococcus bacteria are among the strains useful in
bioremediation for their absorption of mineral
contaminates.  (Source: University of Cambridge) New research
promises sustainable filters, fuel, and a better understanding
of fluid dynamics  Bioremediation, the study of using living
organisms to remove pollutants or contaminants from the
environment, is a hot new field of research.  Nanotechnology,
including carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, and nanomembranes is
another extremely hot field, which promises to one day provide
revolutionary improvements to nearly every field of science. 
Combine the two fields and you get the University of
Nottingham's new research.  Rather than just study nanofilters
with nanopores or waste-eating bacteria, the English researchers
at the University of Nottingham -- headed by Nidal Hilal,
Professor of Chemical and Process Engineering in the Centre for
Clean Water Technologies -- combined the two exciting fields to
