This video is an exploration into a resent rabbit hole I went down. I read about MIT's new desalination breakthrough on Reddit, and needed to learn more! The topic of desalination is an important one that is only becoming more critical and could be a lifeline for huge area of the world. As well as looking at the breakthrough, this video also touches on classical methods (multi-stage distillation and reverse osmosis) and a case study of where this could be used, Kiribati.
