It’s easy to use electricity — solar-generated or otherwise — to desalinate water. However, traditional systems require a steady source of power. Since solar panels don’t always produce electricity, ...

A team of engineers has developed a system that could transform desalination practices, making the process more adaptable, resilient and cheaper. The new system is powered by sunlight and uses a ...

Self-cleaning desalination system Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a solar-powered desalination device featuring laser-etched superwicking black metal (right). Unlike existing ...
