Engineers at the University of Michigan have developed a groundbreaking technology that could transform water desalination. By reducing the reliance on costly chemicals, this innovation has the potential to save desalination plants billions annually and make a significant impact on the global water crisis. In this research spotlight, Jovan Kamcev, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at U-M, and his team discuss how their work could lead to more energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions for water treatment.
