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."

Re:Why stop at salt?

yet if you mention this to people who live there they go absolutely bonkers denial on you. I guess I'm not speaking about the small minority who will profit from doing the math.

They believe suffering is good for the soul... and so, they suffer. Don't feel bad about it. It's what Jesus wants. Once they're all dead, we'll buy the land for cheap and redevelop it. In the meantime, we'll just exploit the cheap labor, and lock them into an unending life of debt and suffering... Someone has to work the salt mines. *shrugs*
