Nanotube Water

Another link between water and nanotechnology pops up over at technology review which reports on work by Pulickel M. Ajayan and his team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India. The trick is to coat the inside of a quartz tube with carbon nanotubes, to produce a filter capable of removing large materials, such as viruses, while allowing water to squeeze through the pores.
