Making Saltwater Drinkable With Graphene

An anonymous reader writes "Graphene once again proves that it is quite possibly the most miraculous material known to man, this time by making saltwater drinkable. The process was developed by a group of MIT researchers who realized that graphene allowed for the creation of an incredibly precise sieve. Basically, the regular atomic structure of graphene means that you can create holes of any size, for example the size of a single molecule of water. Using this process scientist can desalinate saltwater 1,000 times faster than the Reverse Osmosis technique."

    Slashdot is a place where cowardly racist fucktards post with impunity. I hope you die of the most horrific cancer one can imagine, so that your flesh falls off in chunks and you smell like a rotting corpse, so that even your wife has to leave you because your body has become as vile and evil as your mind.
