Researchers have invented a device that can produce both electricity and fresh water from solar. Renewable investments drop in the first half of 2019 to the lowest half-year period since 2013. More ...

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 ...

While the solar cell harvests sunlight for electricity, heat from the solar panel drives evaporation in the water distiller below. That vapor wafts through a porous polystyrene membrane that filters ...

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 ...

Researchers have reported a new device that can both efficiently capture solar energy and store it until it is needed, offering promise for applications ranging from power generation to distillation ...

Scientists in Hungary have built a prototype of a thermal distillation device, supported by PV power. The PV panels use an IoT component that self-cleans when dust is detected and cools itself when ...

A breakthrough in solar panel technology has resulted in a device that can produce electricity from sunlight and purify water at the same time, an innovation that its creators say could simultaneously ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of scientists from MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a solar-powered desalination system capable of creating drinkable water at a higher volume and lower cost than existing ...
