A small beaker of water can look ordinary. Under the right light, it can also become a quiet factory. In a chemistry lab at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, researchers have shown that ...
Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University, China, have developed a new water purification film. This “self-floating photocatalytic film” uses low levels of sunlight to purify highly contaminated water and ...
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have created a remarkable new material that works like a “rechargeable solar battery,” storing ...
Refined wood, salt, sunlight, and artificial intelligence might soon deliver clean drinking water from thin air—even in the driest regions of the world. That’s the promise behind a new invention ...
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 ...
In a press release Researchers at the Laboratory of Nanoscience for Energy Technology (LNET) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland announced they had developed a device ...
Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used chemicals—hydrogen peroxide—using nothing more than sunlight, water and ...
