TAU partners with major Canadian foundation to produce clean water
From The Jerusalem Post
Tel Aviv University and the Canadian Friends of Tel Aviv University (CFTAU) announced a joint collaboration on Wednesday with one of Canada’s largest private foundations aimed at further developing technology that produces safe drinking water in the developing world.
The $407,000 gift from The Asper Foundation, a leading force in Jewish and general philanthropy in Israel and Canada, will be used in a TAU lab that has developed a patented technology that uses LED lighting and solar energy to disinfect water, according to the university. The laptop-sized device—called SoLED—operates without any chemicals or electricity to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses from water, making it inexpensive and accessible.
