Beyond the Pore: Nanofiltration's Fullerene Frontier

Previously

…The team’s mood was buoyed by their success, yet tempered by the weight of what lay ahead. Lena, sensing the need for a bold step, suggested, “Let’s contact the water treatment consortium. If we can run a pilot on industrial wastewater—something no polymer membrane can touch—then no one can say this isn’t more than a laboratory curiosity.” Professor Reed arched a brow but gave a measured nod. “If your sheet endures that, it will be hard to ignore.” The fullerene frontier had proved itself at the atomic scale and in controlled filtration. Now the real test beckoned—a leap from the certainty of the lab to the unpredictability of the world outside.
