Researchers working at MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering claim to have produced a sponge-like substance that helps convert water to steam using sunlight one-hundredth as bright as that ...

Current approaches to water desalination are tremendously expensive and energy-intensive, so the search is very much on for new technologies that can get the job done more efficiently. Scientists in ...

Water covers most of the globe, yet many regions still suffer from a lack of clean drinking water. If scientists could efficiently and sustainably turn seawater into clean water, a looming global ...

Water is vital to the survival of life. However, water scarcity has become a major problem in modern society. Today, one-fifth of the world's population lives in water- deficient areas, especially in ...

Close up pouring purified fresh drink water. Researchers have developed a high efficiency solar steam generator which may help provide better access to clean water globally. Predictions by the World ...

As the global population grows, fresh water supplies are more precious than ever. While scientists and engineers know how to purify water, making those methods sustainable and energy efficient is ...

The fabrication and application of MJF-printed SSGs. (a) Synthesis process of the C@Fe3O4 ink for MJF printing. (b) Illustration of the MJF testbed setup and the structure of printed SSGs. (c) ...

Abu Dhabi Foster Wheeler AG announced on Monday that a subsidiary of its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract to design and supply a solar steam generator system and site advisory services ...

Iranian researchers have looked at how ultrasonic thermoelectric generators could be used to lower the operating temperature of solar modules. Their new system can generate cold steam via ultrasonic ...

Back in 2015, ground broke on a combined heat and power (CHP) facility in Florida. It was created as a partnership between Chesapeake Utilities Corp., its Florida Public Utilities (FPU) subsidiary, ...

Now, inspired by origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, researchers have devised a solar steam generator that approaches 100 percent efficiency for the production of clean water. They report ...
