In many arid regions, people use devices known as solar stills to extract drinkable water from seawater or tainted water. A new type of solar still is claimed to be much more effective than others, by ...

Solar skeptics have long warned that panels would fade fast, leaving homeowners with expensive glass and little power. Three ...

Imagine a world where clean drinking water is readily available even in the most remote areas. This vision is becoming a reality thanks to innovative research from scientists in Canada. A team of ...

LAS CRUCES - A team of engineering researchers at New Mexico State University are making headway toward developing technologies that will make the production of freshwater more efficient and ...

Solar desalination using solar stills presents a sustainable, low-cost method to convert saline or brackish water into potable water by harnessing solar energy. This approach utilises simple ...

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.

The new water purification technique involves draping a sheet of carbon-dipped paper in an upside-down "V." The paper's bottom edges soak up water, while the carbon coating absorbs solar energy and ...

A solar distillation device can purify brine from reverse osmosis plants with over 10 percent salinity, as well as water taken directly from the Red Sea. The technology offers double the freshwater ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo engineering researchers have received federal support to develop a portable solar still — a device that generates clean water using the power of the sun. The U.S.

First Solar faces operational challenges and geopolitical risks, but remains a strong player in the U.S. market due to IRA incentives and tariffs. Earnings volatility is driven by manufacturing issues ...

Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, but they can do it around the clock, even when the sun isn't shining. Here's how. Solar energy is one of the most accessible and cleanest forms of ...
