Fascinating article. I think access to clean drinking water is one of humanity's great challenges. And it's not just populations residing in close proximity to sea water. Brackish well water would be made potable by inexpensive desalination technologies, which would benefit many depressed communities across the globe. Who'd have thought that nanometer sized openings in graphene oxide retained by epoxy to manage swelling would come in so handy?! Thanks for sharing, Xenoview.
