Researchers have demonstrated a new solar-thermal desalination method that converts seawater into fresh water with 74 percent efficiency without producing environmental brine. The system uses self-cleaning panels that wick water across surfaces while preventing salt buildup, allowing for the simultaneous recovery of valuable materials like lithium and gold. For engineers in the sustainability sector, this development offers a scalable blueprint for low-cost, zero-waste water purification systems that could revolutionize resource extraction.
