A joint research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), led by Dr. Kyung-guen Song from the KIST Water Cycle Research Center and Dr. Won-jun Choi from the KIST Center for Opto ...

Scientists at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have demonstrated a system based on commercially available solar panels which can generate electricity and produce clean ...

In a bid to help bring greater access to clean drinking water to the developing world, WaterStillar has created a solar-distillation system designed to produce clean drinking water from almost any ...

Ecosystems of terminus lakes around the world could benefit from a new system being developed to desalinate water using a specialized low-cost solar pond and patented membrane distillation system ...

A federally funded research effort to revolutionize water treatment has yielded a direct solar desalination technology that uses energy from sunlight alone to heat salt water for membrane distillation ...

Blue sky thinking: the new solar device is said to be very good at both electricity generation and desalination. (Courtesy: iStock/ELyrae) A device that can generate electricity while desalinating ...

The C-Water uses sunlight and distillation to separate H2O from the nastier stuff: just set the device down on a damp surface (or float it on the water) in direct sunlight, and like a tiny greenhouse, ...

Water from sunshine: new system removes salt from seawater and generates electricity. (Courtesy: iStock/magann) A new system for removing salt from seawater using the waste heat from solar panels has ...

A multifunctional device that captures the heat shed by photovoltaic solar panels has been developed by KAUST and used to generate clean drinking water as a way to simultaneously generate electricity ...

Power plants need water to generate electricity, but electricity is also usually required to filter or desalinate water. This reciprocal relationship — known as the water-energy nexus — means that ...
