Seawater Mining
Google is investing in research to turn seawater into drinking water. This process is called reverse osmosis. The plan — and hope — is to remove the minerals from seawater.
Lab Food
Google is also funding research to create food in a lab. In an attempt to solve the world’s food crisis, scientists have created lab burgers. However, the only problem with those burgers is the lack of taste. Scientists are still trying to substitute fat in order to improve the taste of lab meat.
