2D illustration of a tube-based turing-type membrane. This illustration was based off a magnified SEM (scanning electron micrograph) of this type of membrane. Developed from a mathematical model by Alan Turing, turing-type membranes are made of a polyamide mesh and can filter water using a method called desalination. Desalination is a process that removes minerals and salts from water. Because the earth has a very limited amount of freshwater, desalination can convert sea water (of which the earth has a nearly endless supply) into water that humans can drink and farm with. | |
