The same process could potentially be used to help the 2 billion-plus people around the world who lack access to safe drinking water.

They lack access because of their corrupt governments.

Kenya has one of the world's largest supplies of fresh groundwater. There's water everywhere. Just need to get the corruptocrats and Marxists out of the way.

Wonder how fast it will take the sailing water-maker industry to adopt this?

Yeah, sounds absolutely wonderful. Per square foot, how much does it cost and how durable/fragile is it?! Technology is getting better and better. And this is just 2018. The Model T about 100 years ago. What will there be 100 years from now?! Oh yeah, the flying car was in Popular Mechanics in about 1966. Every college physics dept. should have a tech fair just like the typical high school science fair. The college kids would have to design a toy or a widget which could do something. And then each college physics dept would compete in the national arena. With the entire school chipping in, the physics toy competition could be amazing.

Membrane filtration has been around for a long time, including heating the feed with solar energy. The only thing new here is the graphene. The article says nothing about graphene being better in any way than existing technology.

If membrane filtration offered lower energy costs than reverse osmosis, then it would used in large desalination plants. So far it has not; RO rules.

I would love to have that filter to assure the purity of my well water.

It’s graphene, so it’s just around the corner.

Getting the energy cost/requirements down for desalinization processes is a good thing, any day.

You still have the briny residue to get rid of; but in recent years there has been some breakthroughs in converting the brine to useful chemicals/materials.
