Researchers at #KITKarlsruhe have discovered how to filter the herbicide glyphosate by using membranes with nanometer-sized pores. 💧 How effectively this works depends not only on the size and charge of the molecules, but also on their hydration: the stronger the water shell, the harder it is for them to pass through the membrane. Their findings contribute to further improving nanofiltration in order to provide people worldwide with clean water. 🌍
