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 ...

A new energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemicals and turns leftover salts into useful ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into drinking water without creating environmentally damaging brine. Special laser-textured metal panels use sunlight to ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kilograms, that can remove particles and salts to generate drinking water. The suitcase-sized device, ...

Membrane distillation (MD), an emerging thermal desalination technology for more than five decades, has not been widely commercialized largely due to the use of hydrophobic membranes. Here we ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Before performing desalination experiments, the as-synthesized thin films were transferred onto a commercial hydrophilic substrate ...

Small modular reactor (SMR) technology developer NuScale Power has unveiled research programs that could advance an energy system that integrates its nuclear technology to produce desalinated water ...

Water sits at the centre of the climate crisis. Rising sea levels, increasingly frequent flooding and droughts, and declining glacial and snow cover are all projected to frustrate access to sources of ...

As the most water-scarce region on the planet, the Middle East is particularly reliant on desalination technology. Maxim Petrichuk/Shutterstock Clean freshwater is critical for sustaining human life.
