Don’t be salty. Tiny tubes desalinate water one molecule at a time 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. The thrill of scientific discovery The thrill of scientific discovery Sir Richard Roberts delivered the keynote address at an event on campus that drew researchers in the area of DNA sequencing technology. Nanopores promise cost savings in gene sequencing Nanopores promise cost savings in gene sequencing By applying nanopores to established next-generation gene-sequencing technologies, professor Meni Wanunu could help bring the price of a single genome to $100.
