Believe It: Nanomesh Straw Turns Sewage Into Drinkable Water
Abstract:
Seldon Technologies' WaterStick doesn't turn water into wine, but for developing nations, military personnel, and underserved communities, it may do something even more useful; the carbon nanomesh filter transforms bacteria-ridden sludge into potable water about as fast as you can drink it.
