Scientists at Berkeley Lab have developed a sort of “solar umbrella” which could radically reduce the amount of land needed for industrial evaporation ponds. Evaporation ponds are a cheap way to deal ...

The world needs lithium at higher rates than ever before. But our current methods ...

The system described in Advanced Materials is a ternary oxide-based evaporator capable of efficiently using solar energy to drive evaporation. When placed on seawater, the device heats the water, ...

(Bloomberg) — Every year, about 1,400 gigaliters of water evaporates from dams and reservoirs across arid Australia, enough to fill Sydney Harbour three times, according to researchers at Deakin ...

Access to clean water is one of the world's most pressing problems, but a team of University at Buffalo researchers has come up with a new take on an old technology that uses sunlight to purify water.

Tellurium nanoparticles can triple the evaporation rate of solar desalination and can raise the temperature of water from 29° to 85°C within 100 seconds. If the production of Tellurium nanoparticles ...
