How scientists and supercomputers could make oceans drinkable

Imagine what this would mean to the world in terms of just farming.

Noy’s team set up a simple filtration experiment and let it run overnight. In the morning, two assistants noticed a puddle on the lab floor; water had slipped through the nanotubes so rapidly that the small reservoir meant to catch the liquid had overflowed. Researchers would later confirm that the flow rate of water through carbon nanotubes is six times higher than it is through the filters used in today’s desalination plants.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I'm curious if this tech could improve efficiency in Navy submarine oxygen generators.

I don't know the answer to that. I do know the Navy is pouring about 30 Million a year into nano research at NLR and the Naval Academy.

Did you mean NRL?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Yes, thank you.
