Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...

Solar desalination using solar stills presents a sustainable, low-cost method to convert saline or brackish water into potable water by harnessing solar energy. This approach utilises simple ...

The proposed brackish water desalination system uses photovoltaic electrodialysis to enable direct-drive desalination at high production rates. It already operated for 6 months on real brackish ...

Solar steam generation and desalination technologies represent a crucial frontier in addressing global freshwater scarcity and environmental sustainability. By harnessing solar energy to generate ...

MIT researchers claim to have created a revolutionary solar-powered desalination system powered directly from sunlight without any auxiliary external power or batteries. The invention has 'adapted to ...

Faced with the world's impending freshwater scarcity, researchers turned to solar steam generators, which are emerging as a promising device for seawater desalination. The team sought design ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

In a recent study published in the journal Applied Physics Reviews, researchers from the Nanyang Technological University introduced a novel technique for printing functional nanocomposites for ...

The bio-inspired solar evaporator, with an external photothermal layer and an internal water supply channel, enhances brine transport to form a porous salt shell that facilitates vapor release and ...

Researchers designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun. Researchers at the University of Waterloo have ...

A biodegradable nanocellulose and carbon aerogel uses sunlight to purify seawater efficiently, achieving high evaporation rates and strong salt resistance for sustainable, low-cost desalination ...
