MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids the salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun. In a pap
I’ll believe it when nestle buys the patent and buries it
Wouldn’t nestle themselves benefit from this tech so they can stop catching flak for using local dried out water sheds that are probably harder to get water from than this?
