New solar desalination breakthrough makes fresh water without toxic brine
Scientists have developed a solar-powered desalination system that converts seawater into fresh water without producing harmful brine. The technology uses laser-textured metal panels to evaporate water while directing salt deposits away from the surface, preventing clogging. The process was tested successfully with seawater from multiple oceans and can recover valuable minerals like lithium. This innovation offers a more environmentally friendly and efficient method for producing drinking water.
