Drink water from the ocean could be possible in a few time!!!!

To remove the salt from the seawater it's a tricky challenge. But what's a challenge for the human race, which has evolutioned exponentially?

The fact is researchers may have the answer, but it will require a whole lot of processing power.
ALEKSANDR NOY, a senior research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has big plans for a very small tool: carbon nanotubes. Noy has devoted a significant part of his career to perfecting the liquid alchemy known as desalination—removing salt from seawater.

A few years ago Noy had the audacity to embrace a radical theory: Maybe nanotubes—cylinders so tiny, they can be seen only with an electron microscope—could act as desalination filters. It depended on just how wide the tubes were. The opening needed to be big enough to let water molecules flow through, but small enough to block the larger salt particles that make seawater undrinkable.

So the idea is: put enough carbon nanotubes together and you potentially have the world’s most efficient machine for making clean water !!!!!

Just one word: amazing!!!

좋은 기술이네요.
상용화가 되면 인류에게 축복의 선물이 되겠다는 생각 입니다.
감사합니다.

Yeah, the future will be like this. Thanks to you!!!
