A new convergence to meet water crises
Yesterday, CNN published an article accompanied by a video interview about how Aquaporin fits the tendency of utilizing developments made for space to benefit people on planet Earth.
Professor of Neuroscience and former MIT President Susan Hockfield’s newly published book The Age of Living Machines features path-breaking researchers who are using biology and engineering’s revolutionary convergence to invent tools and technologies that will transform how we live in the coming century. A chapter of the book circles around Aquaporin and how our technology will help meet the civilization’s growing demand for clean water.
Earlier this month, the New York Times described how a quarter of humanity faces looming water crises. From India to Iran and Botswana, 17 countries around the world are currently under alarmingly high water stress according to new data from World Resources Institute. To help solve the global clean water crisis, Aquaporin has taken the cue from nature and utilized what Hockfield calls the revolutionary and previously unimaginable convergence of biology and engineering:
