NASA Glenn Research Center scientists and students in Case Western Reserve University's interdisciplinary Fusion program are studying a novel water purification technology and how to commercialize it. Senior researchers at NASA Glenn have developed and tested a promising technology that reduces organic contaminants to carbon dioxide and clean water. NASA is experimenting with applying high-voltage pulses to fluids to form what is called "non-equilibrium plasma."
