Magic Sand at Rice University.

Uploaded by RiceUniversity on Jun 22, 2011
Beds of sand are commonly used throughout the world to filter drinking water. The particle size of sand and surface modifications determine the efficiency of sand in removing contaminants from water.
Researchers at Rice University are spinning a bit of nano-based magic to created "coated sand" that has enhanced properties for purification. The breakthrough may benefit developing countries where more than a billion people lack clean drinking water.

Esta Super Arena, como se la conoce públicamente, es mucho más eficiente a la hora de filtrar agua que la sustancia natural. Esto se debe a que desarrollaron una técnica que utiliza óxido de grafito, un producto del proceso de exfoliación del grafito que conducen a una hoja de un solo átomo, conocida como grafeno.
