Water becomes conductive within one trillionth of a second.
that becomes conductive thousands of times faster than current state-of-art semiconductor-based switches. Such switches are used in computers, smartphones, and wireless communications.
To create the switch, researchers used a highly concentrated sodium iodide dissolved water- in simpler terms, salty water. And sprayed this salty water from a custom-made nozzle as a thin sheet only a few microns thick."Think of it like squeezing a gardening hose to make the jet of water broad and flat, only on a much smaller scale," explains Hoberg.at 400 nanometers . This bumps electrons out of the dissolved salts, increasing the conductivity of water.

Nation's largest water supplier declares drought emergencyThe nation's largest water supplier has declared a drought emergency for all of Southern California, clearing the way for potential mandatory water restrictions early next year that could impact 19 million people.
