Sustainable Development Goal 6 from the United Nations aims to provide global access to safe and affordable drinking water. Solar-powered desalination can help achieve this, by using sunlight to ...

The more efficient desalination process could ease dwindling water supplies. Scientists may have found a more efficient water to desalinate water using solar power, according to new research, offering ...

A new system could make brackish groundwater drinkable at low cost in communities where seawater and grid power are limited. Brackish groundwater is a major potential source of drinking water in ...

Engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a ...

Scientists led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a new PV-powered desalination system based on the time-variant electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology. The proposed ...

What if solving three of the world’s most pressing challenges, water scarcity, energy demand, and environmental sustainability, could be achieved with a single, innovative system? Imagine a technology ...

With nearly half the world’s population facing water shortages and 2.2 billion people lacking access to safely managed drinking water, these facilities could provide a lifeline. But can they truly ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...
