A publication by researchers at the University of Cincinnati in the journal 'Nano Letters' indicate the development of a solar-powered nano filter that is able to removeharmful carcinogens and antibiotics from water sources.
The filter, made of two bacterial proteins provides a higher filtering capacity by absorbing 64% more antibiotics in surface waters than the 40% absorbency provided by technology made of activated carbon.
Also, the new filtering technology is powered by direct sunlight, and allows for antibiotic recycling. This goes to show the limitless capabilities for the application of solar power.
