On the road to improved desalination

Researchers from the Technion and the University of Texas at Austin have mapped wet membranes for the first time using TEM cryo-tomography, revealing a volume expansion of approximately 30% under water flow, offering insights into designing more efficient membranes; the study was selected as a cover
