Supplying Safe Drinking Water: Solar-powered nanofilters pump in antibiotics to clean contaminated water

Published: June 22, 2024, 6:02 p.m.

Using the same devious mechanism that enables some bacteria to shrug off powerful antibiotics, scientists have developed solar-powered nanofilters that remove antibiotics from the water in lakes and rivers twice as efficiently as the best existing technology. Their report appears in ACS\u2019 journal NanoLetters.
