Novel desalination devices use sunlight to provide fresh drinking water
It’s one of life’s most frustrating ironies that Earth’s surface is over 70 percent water, but most of that is undrinkable. Desalination is an important technology that may help unlock more drinking water, and now two independent teams have developed new types of solar-powered … [Read more...] about Novel desalination devices use sunlight to provide fresh drinking water
This solar panel generates green energy while purifying water
Access to clean energy and drinking water are among the primary challenges faced by remote communities in developing countries. Those two problems could now be solved in one stroke now that scientists in Saudi Arabia have developed a solar panel that not only generates … [Read more...] about This solar panel generates green energy while purifying water
Seawater turns into freshwater through solar energy: A new low-cost technology
A study conducted at Politecnico di Torino and published by the journal Nature Sustainability promotes an innovative and low-cost technology to turn seawater into drinking water, thanks to the use of solar energy alone. … [Read more...] about Seawater turns into freshwater through solar energy: A new low-cost technology
