"The Impact of Nano-sized Pores on Filtration Technology"

Researchers have demonstrated that the placement of nanosized holes on nanoporous membranes can significantly impact their performance in filtering impurities from water and other applications. Computer simulations revealed that the proximity of nanopores can affect water permeability and salt rejection, with a hexagonal pattern showing greater performance than a honeycomb pattern. These findings provide insight into designing more efficient nanoporous membranes for processes such as water desalination.
