Dr Rahul Nair demonstrates a graphene-based membrane device.
Many of us struggle to satisfy our thirst even though we live on a water world. That is because the Earth’s oceans are salty. Just 2.5% of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and of that, 60% is trapped in glaciers, 30% in groundwater (not all of which is accessible), and just 10% is on the surface in lakes and rivers.
Salt intake linked to autoimmune diseases.
In developed countries in recent decades the incidence of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes, has spiked. Researchers describe in three studies that were published in Nature that the molecular pathways that can lead to autoimmune disease and identify one possible culprit that has been right under our noses — and on our tables — the entire time: salt.

Current hard disk manufacturing technology could soon reach its limits.
Singapore scientists have developed a surprising use for ordinary table salt that they say could help deal with the increasingly quantities of data that companies and individuals are creating and storing.

The study explains why many find it so hard to cut back on salt.
A new study has found that salt is addictive in the same way as cigarettes or hard drugs.
In the eight-year study, people with the lowest salt intake had the highest rate of death from heart disease.
Eating a diet high in salt may not be as bad for you as first thought and could even reduce chances of heart disease. The controversial findings question the push by authorities to get people to cut consumption.
