Faced with the world's impending freshwater scarcity, researchers turned to solar steam generators, which are emerging as a promising device for seawater desalination. The team sought design ...

Solar still desalination primarily depends on evaporation and condensation to purify saline water for potable water generation. In this water treatment process, the incident solar irradiation ...

A phase-change photothermal foam stores solar heat to sustain water evaporation after sunlight fades, producing fresh water from hypersaline brine at low cost. The phase-change photothermal foam ...

As the most water-scarce region on the planet, the Middle East is particularly reliant on desalination technology. Maxim Petrichuk/Shutterstock Clean freshwater is critical for sustaining human life.
