How clean water technologies could get a boost from X-ray synchrotrons DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory via Science Daily The world needs clean water, and its need is only going to grow in the coming decades. Yet desalination and other water-purifying technologies are often expensive and require a lot of energy to run, making it that much harder to provide more clean water to a growing population in a warming world. To move forward, researchers should use tools such as those available at X-ray synchrotrons to better measure the properties of materials involved in purifying salty or otherwise contaminated water, argue scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Paderborn in Germany.
