Carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes have a bright future in addressing the world's growing need to purify water from the sea, researchers say. "Currently, about 400 million people are using desalinated water and it has been projected that by 2025, 14 percent of the global population will be forced to use sea water,"according to experts. Engineered CNT membranes have the potential to tackle the current and future challenges in water purification.
