As someone who's been writing about cool developments in the tech space for far too long now, I'm quite familiar with graphene. I can't go a few months without reading about some new use for this miraculous substance. Whether you're wanting to make super thin almost immediately rechargeable batteries, create tiny hard drives with massive storage capacity, or mimic human synapses, graphene is your go-to-guy. Now a team of researchers from Australia's Monash University have developed a graphene water filter that just might change the world.
Over the course of our lifetimes we consume a lot of stuff that really isn't fond of the human body. It's a human tradition. For our forefathers it was things like lead, coal dust, asbestos, and now we have microplastics and PFAS; things often referred to as forever chemicals because they just don't leave or break down, and instead prefer to build up inside our flesh vessels.
