Researcher discovers how to use nanotubes to create molecular-level plumbing for filtering water and air, which should lead to cheap desalination systems, batteries and air-scrubbers (potentially removing excess C02 from the atmosphere):

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
