Desalination is essential for supplying freshwater to arid regions, but it generates brine waste that can harm groundwater. Engineers at the University of Michigan are developing a solution: electrically charged membranes that extract valuable minerals from the brine, turning waste into a resource. Could this be the key to making desalination both cleaner and more profitable? Read the full article from Michigan Engineering to find out.
