00:01:27Water scarcity is no longer a distant hypothesis,
00:01:31but a reality that drives a radical transformation in
00:01:34ocean engineering, therefore, today's cognitive log of
00:01:38Átumun examines how wave
00:01:41energy and tidal energy extract
00:01:45drinking water from the sea, drastically reducing the carbon
00:01:48footprint and operational costs through new
00:01:52desalination plants, as well as
00:01:55their challenges and thanks to the
00:01:58integration of official artificial intelligence for dynamic
00:02:01membrane management and the use of renewable
00:02:19International Youth Festival 2026 is being

00:04:19like people, I like friendship, I like this everywhere.
00:04:22partes,
00:04:26For many, stepping onto this international stage represents the fulfillment
00:04:30of a goal and the beginning of a global support network that
00:04:33transcends the days of the event.
00:04:36This is my first time participating in this type of
00:04:39global program and I hope to meet people from different
00:04:43countries, different continents, I am
00:04:46very excited about it, and yes, that's
00:04:49all.
00:04:52From this meeting, the youth of the planet demonstrate that people's diplomacy
00:04:56and friendship without prejudices are possible.
00:05:00Here, not only professional projects are built, but
00:05:04also the foundations of a more united and supportive future,

00:09:45ecological technology is
00:09:48transforming seawater into a truly sustainable drinking
00:09:51water resource for the future of the planet. This
00:09:55disruptive innovation not only overcomes the historical
00:09:58challenges of pollution and energy consumption, but also fuses
00:10:02biological engineering. Therefore, it is worth asking,
00:10:05can nature teach us to desalinate
00:10:09better? This in the face of the growing global
00:10:12water crisis, let's discover how marine
00:10:15biomimicry is redefining ocean
00:10:19science, here is the
00:10:32The UN estimates that 2.2 billion
00:10:35people lack safely managed drinking water.
00:10:38Faced with this scarcity, desalination
00:10:42allows seawater to be converted into a resource suitable for
00:10:45consumption, but this solution has an environmental
00:10:48cost. Techniques such as reverse osmosis and
00:10:51thermal distillation demand large
00:10:55amounts of energy and require complex water
00:10:58treatments, in addition they generate brine, a
00:11:01residue with a salt concentration much higher than that of
00:11:04seawater, when discharged without proper
00:11:07management, it can alter the salinity and oxygen of the
00:11:11environment, affecting marine ecosystems,
00:11:15thus desalination can help address water
00:11:18scarcity, but the challenge is to do so without transferring the problem
00:11:22to the ocean. New technologies seek to
00:11:26make this process more efficient by combining artificial intelligence with
00:11:29marine energies such as wave and
00:11:32tidal power to optimize in real time the
00:11:36operation of membranes and reduce their energy
00:11:39consumption. In addition to this,
00:11:42nanomaterials such as porous graphene membranes
00:11:45and carbon nanotubes are used to increase water
00:11:49flow and improve filtration
00:11:51efficiency. The circular economy proposes to
00:11:55reduce its impact through better dispersion and, at the
00:11:58same time, recover resources such as magnesium and
00:12:01lithium. Technology applied to desalination
00:12:04seeks to overcome the great
00:12:07historical challenges of these processes, the extremely high
00:12:10energy consumption and the ecological impact of
00:12:13brine. Current innovations intervene in
00:12:17different phases of the cycle. Let's review some
00:12:20alternatives.
00:12:28AI to optimize energy:
00:12:31adjusts in real time the pressure and flow of membranes according to water
00:12:34salinity, reducing electricity
00:12:37consumption. Selective water passage
00:12:41reducing resistance and the energy needed for
00:12:45filtration.
00:12:48Marine energy. Wave and tidal
00:12:52systems harness waves and tides
00:12:55to power pumping and purification,
00:12:58reducing carbon
00:13:00emissions.
00:13:02Brine, mitigation and valorization.
00:13:06High dispersion diffusers reduce their
00:13:09marine impact, while valorization processes
00:13:13allow for the recovery of minerals such as magnesium and
00:13:15lithium.
00:13:18Biomimetics, biofilters
00:13:22extremophile organisms, seek to separate
00:13:26salt with greater efficiency and
00:13:31Optics at the University of Rochester, in the United
00:13:33States, developed a solar thermal desalination
00:13:37system that seeks to produce fresh water with high energy
00:13:40efficiency and without chemical additives for
00:13:44pretreatment. The key lies in black metal
00:13:47panels treated with femtosecond lasers, whose
00:13:51surface absorbs almost all sunlight, attracting a thin layer of
00:13:55water, the heat of the sun evaporates that
00:13:58water to distill it, while salts and minerals are confined
00:14:02in a passive area of the panel away from the active
00:14:05area, thus preventing salt from obstructing the
00:14:09surface and facilitating continuous desalination, a technology
00:14:12that seeks for the sun to not only be a source of
00:14:16energy, but also part of the solution to water
00:14:19scarcity. Alongside these innovations, others have also
00:14:22emerged that seek to mitigate the economic impact generated by the
00:14:26costs of energy, a product of
00:14:29desalination, such as the proposal for so-called
00:14:33green desalination, which can be achieved with a microbial
00:14:36desalination cell, fed by wastewater
00:14:40and integrated with a natural
00:14:42bioabsorbent.
00:14:46The best design for desalination is a
00:14:50combination of desalination membrane and
00:14:53reverse osmosis. However, before
00:14:56commercialization, a simulation is required for
00:15:00this new design, so we use international
00:15:04industrial software, which is
00:15:06wave and simulates desalination with and
00:15:10without a desalination membrane, as
00:15:13you can see, when a desalination membrane
00:15:16is used, the salinity of the desalinated
00:15:19water decreases towards the desalinated
00:15:22water.
00:15:25and then it is completely desalinated in
00:15:28reverse osmosis with very low energy
00:15:32consumption.
00:15:36On the other hand, the implementation of desalination technologies
00:15:40unleashes an inevitable environmental duality, a negative
00:15:43impact on marine ecosystems that can be counteracted
00:15:47through disruptive innovations and mitigation strategies.
00:15:51According to the technical evidence of experts, the main
00:15:54effects and their respective solutions are structured as follows:
00:15:58manera:
00:16:05greenhouse gas emissions.
00:16:08CO2 fossil fuels, their use in
00:16:11desalination generates emissions that contribute to climate change
00:16:15and acid rain. Nuclear
00:16:18desalination. Its operation does not generate direct
00:16:22greenhouse gas emissions and
00:16:25has a smaller carbon footprint than fossil fuel-based
00:16:28options.
00:16:31Renewable energies, solar, wind and
00:16:34geothermal reduce CO2 emissions by
00:16:38replacing fossil fuels.
00:16:42Brine discharge and thermal effects. Its
00:16:45discharge can alter marine ecosystems by increasing
00:16:49salinity and
00:16:51biota: the brine plume can affect marine
00:16:55organisms depending on the technology and design of the
00:16:58outfall.
00:17:01Mitigation. Diffusers promote rapid
00:17:04dilution of brine in the water. Brine mining:
00:17:08recovering lithium and magnesium
00:17:12allows for the use of waste and reduced discharges to
00:17:16the sea.
00:17:19Impact on marine biota by suction: suction
00:17:22and filtration can trap and kill
00:17:26plankton, eggs, and fish
00:17:28larvae.
00:17:30Mitigation. Sieves and monitoring reduce
00:17:34fish entrainment and allow operation to be adapted
00:17:37to local biological
00:17:38cycles. Chemical
00:17:42contamination: biocides and
00:17:45antifoulants. Their use can contaminate the marine
00:17:49environment. Graphene sponges. They remove
00:17:53persistent contaminants from water without additional
00:17:56chemicals. Advanced
00:17:59membranes. Performed nanographene and
00:18:02MOS2 improve selectivity and could
00:18:06reduce the use of chemicals in pretreatment.
00:18:10In high salinity environments, osmosis can lead to cellular
00:18:13water loss and compromise the functioning of
00:18:16organisms, but halophiles, microorganisms
00:18:20adapted to these extreme environments, have developed
00:18:23strategies to prevent it. Some produce compatible solutes
00:18:27that help balance osmotic pressure, without altering their
00:18:30cellular functions. Others use ion pumps in their
00:18:34membranes to regulate sodium and maintain the balance of
00:18:37essential ions. These natural adaptations could
00:18:41inspire new ways of designing filters and membranes for
00:18:44water desalination, understanding how halophiles
00:18:48survive at high salt concentrations, offers clues
00:18:52for designing new filtration technologies. Biomimetics
00:18:54seeks to replicate these natural mechanisms in
00:18:58synthetic membranes, capable of selectively separating
00:19:02water and salts, thus nature becomes a reference
00:19:05laboratory to seek more efficient and
00:19:09sustainable ways to obtain water from the sea.
00:19:11mar.
00:19:16Overcoming the limits of traditional reverse osmosis
00:19:19requires looking at the atomic scale. These disruptive
00:19:23technologies allow water molecules to flow at an
00:19:27unprecedented speed, while selectively blocking
00:19:30salt and microscopic contaminants. The
00:19:32result is a purification
00:19:35process that promises to
00:19:39decentralize access to drinking water in vulnerable coastal
00:19:59purification and desalination technology that reverses
00:20:02the natural process of osmosis through pressure. In natural
00:20:06osmosis, water passes through a semi-permeable
00:20:09membrane from the area with lower salt
00:20:12concentration to the area with higher concentration, seeking to
00:20:15balance both sides, while reverse osmosis
00:20:19does the opposite, it applies a pressure greater
00:20:22than the osmotic pressure and forces water to pass through the
00:20:26membrane from the saline solution to the other side. In the process,
00:20:30the membrane retains salts, dissolved minerals, bacteria
00:20:33and other contaminants. In a world marked by the scarcity
00:20:37of drinking water and the depletion of fresh water sources, this
00:20:41technology allows for the use of seawater and brackish
00:20:44water to generate water resources for consumption,
00:20:48agriculture and industry, an increasingly important tool
00:20:52in the face of the challenge of water security.

00:23:34Telecommunication Network, a high-capacity communications
00:23:37network that will provide data transmission and navigation
00:23:41services to missions on the Red Planet. The company
00:23:45must deliver to NASA no later than December 2028,
00:23:49a telecommunications orbiter, which will be the core of this
00:23:52infrastructure. The network is expected to begin operations
00:23:56on Mars by 2030. Martian
00:23:59exploration is moving from isolated robotic missions to an
00:24:03increasingly complex scenario, with greater
00:24:05data needs and in the future, human
00:24:09expeditions. The new network will seek to facilitate the sending of high-resolution

00:24:24the plastic we don't see is already in the water, soil and
00:24:28even in the air we breathe, these are microplastics,
00:24:32almost invisible particles that have
00:24:35become a global environmental challenge, but the most difficult
00:24:38thing to believe is the answer, robotics and
00:24:42nanotechnology came together to create small systems
00:24:46capable of helping to clean these contaminants without
00:24:50the ecosystem, how does it work and why was
00:24:53the soil the great pending frontier,
00:24:56let's find out in this week's hard to
00:25:00believe.
00:25:06Microrobots capable of hunting microplastics sounds like
00:25:10science fiction, but scientists from the Czech Republic have already
00:25:14designed them, these are swarms of magnetic
00:25:18microrobots that can...
00:25:20lift, capture and remove microplastic particles
00:25:24in water and complex soils. Their
00:25:26structures made with matzenes and nickel
00:25:30magnetic nanoparticles, do not need batteries or
00:25:33motors. External rotating magnetic fields propel
00:25:37and guide them. The hard thing to believe is that instead
00:25:40of waiting for the contaminant to reach a filter, these
00:25:44microrobots can move towards it and
00:25:47actively capture it, but still. There are no armies of
00:25:51robots cleaning the oceans, the results are from the laboratory
00:25:55there are technical barriers for their large-scale use, therefore
00:25:58researchers aim at controlled environments such
00:26:02as industrial effluents, wastewater treatment plants,
00:26:05confined channels and agricultural plots converted
00:26:08into focalized areas.
00:26:13Converting seawater into drinking water can be an answer
00:26:17to water scarcity, but science still faces an uncomfortable
00:26:21question, how far can we innovate without
00:26:24transferring the environmental cost to other ecosystems. American
00:26:28specialist Michael Kirpazsky admits
00:26:33that when water sources are depleted and
00:26:36contaminated, desalination ceases to be a distant
00:26:39option and becomes a decision that should
00:26:42be debated. With that question we close this
