- Based on Ion Concentration Polarization technology, the researchers at the biophysics laboratory have developed a Portable Desalination Unit that can turn the oceanic water into potable water.
- Professor Jongyoon Han of the electrical engineering wing and his team achieved this feat which will transform coastal tourism and help evolve similar sustainable solutions.
- The unit costs 50 USD, which is very much affordable. The kit uses ion concentration polarization to remove the impurities along with pathogens by creating an electric field.
