Shinshu University's Distinguished Honorary Professor Morionobu ENDO (Institute for Aqua Regeneration) announced on July 22 that his team has developed a new reverse osmosis (RO) membrane that operates solely on the pressure from a household water supply, requiring no external power or pumps.

In joint demonstration tests with domestic and international companies, the new membrane showed superior water purification performance compared to conventional products. The research findings were published in the international academic journal, Advanced Materials Interfaces, on July 10, 2025 (online 2025 July, DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500318).
