Device mimics the mangrove’s water-purifying power

Monday, February 24, 2020 - 10:00 in Physics & Chemistry

The mangrove tree survives in its subtropical habitat by efficiently converting the salty water of its environment into fresh water — an engineering feat that has long baffled scientists. Now, a team of researchers in the lab of Yale engineering professor Menachem Elimelech has developed a water-purifying device that mimics the mangrove. In addition to offering a […]
