Chemists Work to Desalt the Ocean for Drinking Water, One Nanoliter at a Time
Quote:
By creating a small electrical field that removes salts from seawater,
chemists at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Marburg in Germany
have introduced a new method for the desalination of seawater that consumes less energy
and is dramatically simpler than conventional techniques.

The new method requires so little energy that it can run on a store-bought battery.
