[00:01:27] Water scarcity is no longer a distant hypothesis,
[00:01:31] but a reality that drives a radical transformation in
[00:01:34] ocean engineering, therefore, today's cognitive log of
[00:01:38] Átumun examines how wave
[00:01:41] energy and tidal energy extract
[00:01:45] drinking water from the sea, drastically reducing the carbon
[00:01:48] footprint and operational costs through new
[00:01:52] desalination plants, as well as
[00:01:55] their challenges and thanks to the
[00:01:58] integration of official artificial intelligence for dynamic
[00:02:01] membrane management and the use of renewable
[00:02:19] International Youth Festival 2026 is being
[00:02:21] held, which brings together more than 10 young
[00:02:25] people from 191 countries to discuss trends,
[00:02:29] science. and global leadership. From
[00:02:33] this festival, I hope to make excellent contacts with the right people
[00:02:38] a multipolar world, the new era of who are definitely here. In each sector
[00:02:41] the most outstanding content on there are key people you can find and meet here,
[00:02:44] establishing great new connections that will help you advance in your personal
[00:02:48] field. Personally, I hope to find
[00:02:50] professional presenters, organizers and directors who
[00:02:54] might also find
[00:02:57] inspired by the cellular filtration of me. I am willing to travel around the world, to work all over the world.
[00:03:02] International initiatives offer their training
[00:03:06] sustainability. Researchers from the Institute of here, connecting educators, health
[00:03:08] professionals, content creators and social organizations under a
[00:03:12] common purpose of integration.
[00:03:15] At the International Youth Festival 2026,
[00:03:19] we present our international organization
[00:03:22] Eurasia. The mission of our organization is to unite
[00:03:26] people from all over the world under our projects.
[00:03:30] We offer projects for young people, for teachers,
[00:03:33] for doctors, for young journalists and bloggers
[00:03:37] and for different societies and non-profit
[00:03:40] organizations to unite people under the idea of world
[00:03:44] friendship, of world understanding.
[00:03:47] The logistical and
[00:03:51] emotional heart of the festival beats thanks to the dedication of hundreds of
[00:03:54] volunteers, whose human warmth transforms this
[00:03:57] space into a shared home, regardless of
[00:04:00] language or
[00:04:01] origin.
[00:04:05] I am a volunteer, my name is Iana, I am from Russia, I live in
[00:04:09] Yekaterinburg, I am a second-year student at the
[00:04:13] Ural University, I
[00:04:15] like this festival, it is my dream, I
[00:04:19] like people, I like friendship, I like this everywhere.
[00:04:22] partes,
[00:04:26] For many, stepping onto this international stage represents the fulfillment
[00:04:30] of a goal and the beginning of a global support network that
[00:04:33] transcends the days of the event.
[00:04:36] This is my first time participating in this type of
[00:04:39] global program and I hope to meet people from different
[00:04:43] countries, different continents, I am
[00:04:46] very excited about it, and yes, that's
[00:04:49] all.
[00:04:52] From this meeting, the youth of the planet demonstrate that people's diplomacy
[00:04:56] and friendship without prejudices are possible.
[00:05:00] Here, not only professional projects are built, but
[00:05:04] also the foundations of a more united and supportive future,
[00:05:07] for Telesur, Deisitusen, Yekaterinburg,
[00:05:10] Russia.
[00:05:16] Synchronized systems, peak frequency and operating
[00:05:19] core at maximum performance, coordinates, questions and
[00:05:23] reports the atomun network
[00:05:25] @telesurtv.net,
[00:05:28] brief technical stop at the server to optimize the bandwidth
[00:05:32] and refresh the spectrum, before the
[00:05:35] break let's accelerate the processor to the limit to
[00:05:38] enter the gamer space, a display of pure
[00:05:42] code of adrenaline to challenge your skills, do not
[00:05:45] disconnect from your monitors, the experience continues shortly, we
[00:05:49] will be back with more atomun.
[00:09:45] ecological technology is
[00:09:48] transforming seawater into a truly sustainable drinking
[00:09:51] water resource for the future of the planet. This
[00:09:55] disruptive innovation not only overcomes the historical
[00:09:58] challenges of pollution and energy consumption, but also fuses
[00:10:02] biological engineering. Therefore, it is worth asking,
[00:10:05] can nature teach us to desalinate
[00:10:09] better? This in the face of the growing global
[00:10:12] water crisis, let's discover how marine
[00:10:15] biomimicry is redefining ocean
[00:10:19] science, here is the
[00:10:32] The UN estimates that 2.2 billion
[00:10:35] people lack safely managed drinking water.
[00:10:38] Faced with this scarcity, desalination
[00:10:42] allows seawater to be converted into a resource suitable for
[00:10:45] consumption, but this solution has an environmental
[00:10:48] cost. Techniques such as reverse osmosis and
[00:10:51] thermal distillation demand large
[00:10:55] amounts of energy and require complex water
[00:10:58] treatments, in addition they generate brine, a
[00:11:01] residue with a salt concentration much higher than that of
[00:11:04] seawater, when discharged without proper
[00:11:07] management, it can alter the salinity and oxygen of the
[00:11:11] environment, affecting marine ecosystems,
[00:11:15] thus desalination can help address water
[00:11:18] scarcity, but the challenge is to do so without transferring the problem
[00:11:22] to the ocean. New technologies seek to
[00:11:26] make this process more efficient by combining artificial intelligence with
[00:11:29] marine energies such as wave and
[00:11:32] tidal power to optimize in real time the
[00:11:36] operation of membranes and reduce their energy
[00:11:39] consumption. In addition to this,
[00:11:42] nanomaterials such as porous graphene membranes
[00:11:45] and carbon nanotubes are used to increase water
[00:11:49] flow and improve filtration
[00:11:51] efficiency. The circular economy proposes to
[00:11:55] reduce its impact through better dispersion and, at the
[00:11:58] same time, recover resources such as magnesium and
[00:12:01] lithium. Technology applied to desalination
[00:12:04] seeks to overcome the great
[00:12:07] historical challenges of these processes, the extremely high
[00:12:10] energy consumption and the ecological impact of
[00:12:13] brine. Current innovations intervene in
[00:12:17] different phases of the cycle. Let's review some
[00:12:20] alternatives.
[00:12:28] AI to optimize energy:
[00:12:31] adjusts in real time the pressure and flow of membranes according to water
[00:12:34] salinity, reducing electricity
[00:12:37] consumption. Selective water passage
[00:12:41] reducing resistance and the energy needed for
[00:12:45] filtration.
[00:12:48] Marine energy. Wave and tidal
[00:12:52] systems harness waves and tides
[00:12:55] to power pumping and purification,
[00:12:58] reducing carbon
[00:13:00] emissions.
[00:13:02] Brine, mitigation and valorization.
[00:13:06] High dispersion diffusers reduce their
[00:13:09] marine impact, while valorization processes
[00:13:13] allow for the recovery of minerals such as magnesium and
[00:13:15] lithium.
[00:13:18] Biomimetics, biofilters
[00:13:22] extremophile organisms, seek to separate
[00:13:26] salt with greater efficiency and
[00:13:31] Optics at the University of Rochester, in the United
[00:13:33] States, developed a solar thermal desalination
[00:13:37] system that seeks to produce fresh water with high energy
[00:13:40] efficiency and without chemical additives for
[00:13:44] pretreatment. The key lies in black metal
[00:13:47] panels treated with femtosecond lasers, whose
[00:13:51] surface absorbs almost all sunlight, attracting a thin layer of
[00:13:55] water, the heat of the sun evaporates that
[00:13:58] water to distill it, while salts and minerals are confined
[00:14:02] in a passive area of the panel away from the active
[00:14:05] area, thus preventing salt from obstructing the
[00:14:09] surface and facilitating continuous desalination, a technology
[00:14:12] that seeks for the sun to not only be a source of
[00:14:16] energy, but also part of the solution to water
[00:14:19] scarcity. Alongside these innovations, others have also
[00:14:22] emerged that seek to mitigate the economic impact generated by the
[00:14:26] costs of energy, a product of
[00:14:29] desalination, such as the proposal for so-called
[00:14:33] green desalination, which can be achieved with a microbial
[00:14:36] desalination cell, fed by wastewater
[00:14:40] and integrated with a natural
[00:14:42] bioabsorbent.
[00:14:46] The best design for desalination is a
[00:14:50] combination of desalination membrane and
[00:14:53] reverse osmosis. However, before
[00:14:56] commercialization, a simulation is required for
[00:15:00] this new design, so we use international
[00:15:04] industrial software, which is
[00:15:06] wave and simulates desalination with and
[00:15:10] without a desalination membrane, as
[00:15:13] you can see, when a desalination membrane
[00:15:16] is used, the salinity of the desalinated
[00:15:19] water decreases towards the desalinated
[00:15:22] water.
[00:15:25] and then it is completely desalinated in
[00:15:28] reverse osmosis with very low energy
[00:15:32] consumption.
[00:15:36] On the other hand, the implementation of desalination technologies
[00:15:40] unleashes an inevitable environmental duality, a negative
[00:15:43] impact on marine ecosystems that can be counteracted
[00:15:47] through disruptive innovations and mitigation strategies.
[00:15:51] According to the technical evidence of experts, the main
[00:15:54] effects and their respective solutions are structured as follows:
[00:15:58] manera:
[00:16:05] greenhouse gas emissions.
[00:16:08] CO2 fossil fuels, their use in
[00:16:11] desalination generates emissions that contribute to climate change
[00:16:15] and acid rain. Nuclear
[00:16:18] desalination. Its operation does not generate direct
[00:16:22] greenhouse gas emissions and
[00:16:25] has a smaller carbon footprint than fossil fuel-based
[00:16:28] options.
[00:16:31] Renewable energies, solar, wind and
[00:16:34] geothermal reduce CO2 emissions by
[00:16:38] replacing fossil fuels.
[00:16:42] Brine discharge and thermal effects. Its
[00:16:45] discharge can alter marine ecosystems by increasing
[00:16:49] salinity and
[00:16:51] biota: the brine plume can affect marine
[00:16:55] organisms depending on the technology and design of the
[00:16:58] outfall.
[00:17:01] Mitigation. Diffusers promote rapid
[00:17:04] dilution of brine in the water. Brine mining:
[00:17:08] recovering lithium and magnesium
[00:17:12] allows for the use of waste and reduced discharges to
[00:17:16] the sea.
[00:17:19] Impact on marine biota by suction: suction
[00:17:22] and filtration can trap and kill
[00:17:26] plankton, eggs, and fish
[00:17:28] larvae.
[00:17:30] Mitigation. Sieves and monitoring reduce
[00:17:34] fish entrainment and allow operation to be adapted
[00:17:37] to local biological
[00:17:38] cycles. Chemical
[00:17:42] contamination: biocides and
[00:17:45] antifoulants. Their use can contaminate the marine
[00:17:49] environment. Graphene sponges. They remove
[00:17:53] persistent contaminants from water without additional
[00:17:56] chemicals. Advanced
[00:17:59] membranes. Performed nanographene and
[00:18:02] MOS2 improve selectivity and could
[00:18:06] reduce the use of chemicals in pretreatment.
[00:18:10] In high salinity environments, osmosis can lead to cellular
[00:18:13] water loss and compromise the functioning of
[00:18:16] organisms, but halophiles, microorganisms
[00:18:20] adapted to these extreme environments, have developed
[00:18:23] strategies to prevent it. Some produce compatible solutes
[00:18:27] that help balance osmotic pressure, without altering their
[00:18:30] cellular functions. Others use ion pumps in their
[00:18:34] membranes to regulate sodium and maintain the balance of
[00:18:37] essential ions. These natural adaptations could
[00:18:41] inspire new ways of designing filters and membranes for
[00:18:44] water desalination, understanding how halophiles
[00:18:48] survive at high salt concentrations, offers clues
[00:18:52] for designing new filtration technologies. Biomimetics
[00:18:54] seeks to replicate these natural mechanisms in
[00:18:58] synthetic membranes, capable of selectively separating
[00:19:02] water and salts, thus nature becomes a reference
[00:19:05] laboratory to seek more efficient and
[00:19:09] sustainable ways to obtain water from the sea.
[00:19:11] mar.
[00:19:16] Overcoming the limits of traditional reverse osmosis
[00:19:19] requires looking at the atomic scale. These disruptive
[00:19:23] technologies allow water molecules to flow at an
[00:19:27] unprecedented speed, while selectively blocking
[00:19:30] salt and microscopic contaminants. The
[00:19:32] result is a purification
[00:19:35] process that promises to
[00:19:39] decentralize access to drinking water in vulnerable coastal
[00:19:59] purification and desalination technology that reverses
[00:20:02] the natural process of osmosis through pressure. In natural
[00:20:06] osmosis, water passes through a semi-permeable
[00:20:09] membrane from the area with lower salt
[00:20:12] concentration to the area with higher concentration, seeking to
[00:20:15] balance both sides, while reverse osmosis
[00:20:19] does the opposite, it applies a pressure greater
[00:20:22] than the osmotic pressure and forces water to pass through the
[00:20:26] membrane from the saline solution to the other side. In the process,
[00:20:30] the membrane retains salts, dissolved minerals, bacteria
[00:20:33] and other contaminants. In a world marked by the scarcity
[00:20:37] of drinking water and the depletion of fresh water sources, this
[00:20:41] technology allows for the use of seawater and brackish
[00:20:44] water to generate water resources for consumption,
[00:20:48] agriculture and industry, an increasingly important tool
[00:20:52] in the face of the challenge of water security.
[00:21:21] The world is constantly moving and new
[00:21:24] events are generated every day, world geopolitics
[00:21:26] is moving, we ask ourselves what is behind
[00:21:30] each event, what are the consequences and how do they
[00:21:33] affect us, given these questions we will seek to

[00:23:30] Origin to design, build and operate the Mars
[00:23:34] Telecommunication Network, a high-capacity communications
[00:23:37] network that will provide data transmission and navigation
[00:23:41] services to missions on the Red Planet. The company
[00:23:45] must deliver to NASA no later than December 2028,
[00:23:49] a telecommunications orbiter, which will be the core of this
[00:23:52] infrastructure. The network is expected to begin operations
[00:23:56] on Mars by 2030. Martian
[00:23:59] exploration is moving from isolated robotic missions to an
[00:24:03] increasingly complex scenario, with greater
[00:24:05] data needs and in the future, human
[00:24:09] expeditions. The new network will seek to facilitate the sending of high-resolution
[00:24:13] images, scientific data, telemetry
[00:24:16] and other critical information between missions
[00:24:19] on and
[00:24:20] Earth,
[00:24:24] the plastic we don't see is already in the water, soil and
[00:24:28] even in the air we breathe, these are microplastics,
[00:24:32] almost invisible particles that have
[00:24:35] become a global environmental challenge, but the most difficult
[00:24:38] thing to believe is the answer, robotics and
[00:24:42] nanotechnology came together to create small systems
[00:24:46] capable of helping to clean these contaminants without
[00:24:50] the ecosystem, how does it work and why was
[00:24:53] the soil the great pending frontier,
[00:24:56] let's find out in this week's hard to
[00:25:00] believe.
[00:25:06] Microrobots capable of hunting microplastics sounds like
[00:25:10] science fiction, but scientists from the Czech Republic have already
[00:25:14] designed them, these are swarms of magnetic
[00:25:18] microrobots that can...
[00:25:20] lift, capture and remove microplastic particles
[00:25:24] in water and complex soils. Their
[00:25:26] structures made with matzenes and nickel
[00:25:30] magnetic nanoparticles, do not need batteries or
[00:25:33] motors. External rotating magnetic fields propel
[00:25:37] and guide them. The hard thing to believe is that instead
[00:25:40] of waiting for the contaminant to reach a filter, these
[00:25:44] microrobots can move towards it and
[00:25:47] actively capture it, but still. There are no armies of
[00:25:51] robots cleaning the oceans, the results are from the laboratory
[00:25:55] there are technical barriers for their large-scale use, therefore
[00:25:58] researchers aim at controlled environments such
[00:26:02] as industrial effluents, wastewater treatment plants,
[00:26:05] confined channels and agricultural plots converted
[00:26:08] into focalized areas.
[00:26:13] Converting seawater into drinking water can be an answer
[00:26:17] to water scarcity, but science still faces an uncomfortable
[00:26:21] question, how far can we innovate without
[00:26:24] transferring the environmental cost to other ecosystems. American
[00:26:28] specialist Michael Kirpazsky admits
[00:26:33] that when water sources are depleted and
[00:26:36] contaminated, desalination ceases to be a distant
[00:26:39] option and becomes a decision that should
[00:26:42] be debated. With that question we close this
