Shocking new way to get the salt out
14 Nov 2015
The system uses an electrically driven shock wave within a stream of flowing water, which pushes salty water to one side of the flow and fresh water to the other, allowing easy separation of the two streams
Nanopores could take the salt out of seawater
12 Nov 2015
A nanometer-thick sheet of molybdenum disulfide riddled with nanopores, is specially designed to let high volumes of water through but keep salt and other contaminates out

MIT engineers develop hydrogel superglue that is 90% water
10 Nov 2015
The hydrogel, which is a transparent, rubber-like material, can adhere to surfaces such as glass, silicon, ceramics, aluminum, and titanium with a toughness comparable to the bond between tendon and cartilage on bone
