Researchers in ACS Energy Letters report creating a semipermeable membrane that harvests osmotic energy from salt gradients and converts it to electricity.

The cylinders could be connected to form a long, semipermeable wall, which the engineers could erect along a coastline, about half a mile from shore.

At the heart of every fuel cell lies a semipermeable membrane.
