Is there anything it can’t do?
“It’s 500 times thinner than the best filter on the market today and a thousand times stronger,” Stetson explained to Reuters. “The energy that’s required and the pressure that’s required to filter salt is approximately 100 times less.”
Faster, please. This would help people world wide, but we could use it in coastal CA as well.
