The folks at #Wired did a bang-up job of explaining a very important advance in layman's terms. This explains how water moves through a #ReverseOsmosis membrane. It sounds arcane, but it's fundamental to how major areas of the world will be spared catastrophic levels of death due to #droughts.
A quick and worthwhile read. Excellent science journalism.

A new paper showing how water actually travels through a plastic membrane could make desalination more efficient. That’s good news for a thirsty world.
