Researchers develop membrane that can harvest clean energy from estuaries — here's how it works
It turns out, the difference in salt concentration between the two water sources can be used to generate electricity — a process called osmotic energy. Researchers have been working on ways to ...

Salt battery harvests osmotic energy where the river meets the sea
In these areas, waters containing different salt concentrations mix and may be sources of sustainable, "blue" osmotic energy. Researchers in ACS Energy Letters report creating a semipermeable ...
