I don't have access to real-time information, and my training only goes up to September 2021. However, I can provide you with some breakthroughs in water technology that occurred in the past few years:
Graphene oxide membranes: Researchers at the University of Manchester have developed a graphene oxide membrane that can filter out even the smallest contaminants, including salt and organic molecules, from water.
Graphene oxide membranes are an important breakthrough for water because they have the potential to revolutionize water filtration technology. Traditional water filtration systems, such as reverse osmosis, use porous membranes to filter out contaminants from water. However, these membranes are often limited in their ability to filter out small particles, such as salt and organic molecules.
Graphene oxide membranes, on the other hand, are incredibly thin and have highly-ordered nanopores that can filter out even the smallest contaminants. They are also highly resistant to fouling, which is the accumulation of impurities on the surface of the membrane, making them more efficient and cost-effective than traditional membranes.
This means that graphene oxide membranes have the potential to make desalination and water purification processes more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible to a wider range of communities, including those in arid and water-stressed regions. They could also have applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, where highly pure water is required.
Overall, graphene oxide membranes represent a significant breakthrough in water technology, with the potential to address one of the biggest challenges facing the world today - access to clean and safe water.
