This invention introduces a photocatalytic water filtration system designed to purify contaminated water using nanotechnology, capillary coils, and light-activated self-cleaning filtration. The system incorporates a spongy nanofiber-based photocatalytic filter bed within coiled capillary tubes. When

Current Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs), especially Nafion, are costly and produced mainly by a single international supplier (DuPont/Chemours). This monopoly escalates the cost of fuel cells and electrolyzers and limits local manufacturing capacity in South Africa. Because PEMs are the major

Every year, final-year BSc Food Science students at Stellenbosch University undertake a unique and challenging project as part of the New Product Development (NPD) module. This module tasks students with creating innovative food products that address specific consumer or market needs. The products
