Dairy Foods shared an announcement about a UB research team, led by Miao Yu, that was awarded $3 million to develop new membrane technology that could greatly reduce the amount of energy needed to produce food, chemicals and other products. 

Wevolver reported that Miao Yu is a co-principal investigator in a study that explores the use of carbon capture byproducts in lithium-ion batteries.

Potential applications of the new materials include industrial gas separation, sensing and catalysis.

Miao Yu was listed fourth for his study on heat-resistant membranes.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Research News Update, spotlighted research led by Miao Yu on a new heat-resistant membrane.

Chemical Engineering published a report on research led by Miao Yu that developed a new heat-resistant membrane that could be used to separate molecules, making medicine, chemicals and other products less expensive to produce.

Futurity featured research led by Miao Yu that designed a new type of membrane with nanopores that can quickly and efficiently separate a diverse range of molecules under harsh industrial conditions.
