Scientists at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) have revealed a strategy to fabricate polytriazole membranes for energy-efficient crude oil fractionation. With 10 nanometer-thin selective layers containing sub-nanometer channels for the separation of hydrocarbons, the membrane technology has the potential to save significant energy in Saudi Arabia.

Researchers at Saudi’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have revealed that built-in heterojunctions enhance the ability of nanoparticle photocatalysts to produce hydrogen fuel from water.

The Suliman S. Olayan Foundation and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) recently held a ground breaking ceremony in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia to establish an institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Gulf nation. The institute is expected to prove beneficial for Kaust's intellectual property-based startups that specialize in water, agtech, energy, advanced computing, biotech, robotics, mobility, and advanced materials.

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) have partnered with scientists at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (Jamstec) to carry out research on the red sea. The team is making use of specialized technologies in order to better understand the deep-water environment.
