Tapping the incredible weirdness of water.

The article looks at various technologies based on the anomalous properties of water that could be used to increase affordable fresh water supplies. The author expresses a positive view of the prospects for such technologies, including one that uses the superflow phenomenon of carbon nanotubes and one that uses a membrane with aquaporins, both in conjunction with the existing desalination technology of reverse osmosis. Research on technologies to collect water from fog is also discussed.
