"Revolutionary Plant-Based Filter Provides Clean Water Solution"

TL;DR Summary
A DIY filter using plant xylem, inspired by an MIT paper, has been developed by BeraAjan for outdoor enthusiasts to obtain clean water. The filter utilizes the thick xylem found in young conifer branches, with the whole twig placed in a tube for water to filter through. While not the fastest option, it provides an alternative to nanotechnology filters for those in need of clean water during outdoor activities.
