U.S. scientists have created a new solar-powered system that can turn saltwater into clean drinking water around the clock, even after the sun goes down.
It’s called STREED, short for Solar Thermal Resonant Energy Exchange Desalination, and it can operate without filters, batteries, or external power sources.
The technology, developed by researchers at Rice University in Texas, targets a growing global crisis: water scarcity, as reported by Interesting Engineering.
More than 4 billion people face water shortages at least one month out of the year, according to a 2023 study published in Science.
STREED could offer an off-grid, low-maintenance solution to this massive challenge, helping save lives, improve public health, and reduce household water…
