Scientists create slippery nanopores that supercharge blue energy

Osmotic energy, often referred to as blue energy, is an emerging method for producing renewable electricity by harnessing the natural mixing of saltwater and freshwater. When these two types of water meet, ions from the saltwater move through a specialized ion-selective membrane toward the lower-salinity water. This movement generates a voltage that can be captured as electricity.
