June 19, 2014 -- As the human population rises, desalination Ð the expensive process of extracting salt from sea water in order to produce fresh drinking water Ð is becoming critically important. Graphene could make it affordable. Graphic shows how graphene could be used to filter sea water into drinking water for a fraction of the cost of present desalination energy costs.
