I’m sure we have all heard of public health agencies issuing “boil water” orders when the source of drinking water may have been contaminated, such as during a disaster. Really, what we want to be ...

Solar stills provide a clever and simple means of purifying dirty or salty water, but they work at a rather slow rate. A new material has been shown to boost their performance, and it's made from ...

Imagine a device that not only purifies water but also recycles waste, all at an affordable price. Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have made this a reality, creating a water purifier ...

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 ...

A team developed photothermal porous polymer capable of ultra-fast adsorption and removal of phenolic microplastics and VOC contaminants in water. Showing the potential as a next-generation water ...

Advances have been made that can allow us to purify seawater to make it drinkable by using Graphene Oxide (GO). The process is a mixture of ion sieving and desalination. A team from Manchester ...

A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests that renewable solar energy could play a crucial role in purifying water. Traditionally, electrochemical separation has been ...

In the future, the solar panels on your roof might sit next to rain-collecting panels that automatically purify water using sunlight, and then send the water into your plumbing. It’s one potential ...
