Aquaporin-based biomimetic membranes are a revolutionary new technology that merges the fields of biology and engineering to create highly efficient membranes for water filtration and desalination. Aquaporins are a class of proteins found in the cell membranes of living organisms that facilitate the transport of water across the membrane. These proteins have evolved over millions […]
The world is facing a water crisis. With increasing populations, industrialization, and climate change, fresh water sources are becoming scarce. Desalination – the process of removing salt and impurities from seawater – has become an attractive solution to this crisis. However, traditional desalination methods are energy-intensive, expensive, and not environmentally friendly. Enter jellyfish-inspired desalination. Scientists […]
