    Don’t be salty. Tiny tubes desalinate water one molecule at a time


    Only a tiny portion of water on Earth is drinkable, and it’s dwindling fast. But sipping seawater may be on the horizon. Northeastern researchers have discovered that carbon nanotubes are nearly perfect for salt filtration, which could help make widespread desalinization a reality.

    The thrill of scientific discovery


    Sir Richard Roberts, Nobel laureate and Distinguished University Professor at Northeastern, loves bacteria. As he puts it, “I find humans too complicated.” Roberts delivered the keynote address at an event on campus this week that drew leading researchers in the area of DNA sequencing technology.
