News Highlights: New technologies for stationary solar energy hold great promise for greater efficiency
LAS CRUCES – A team of engineering researchers at New Mexico State University is advancing in the development of technologies that make fresh water production more efficient and cost-effective through the use of solar-powered stills. Their work could provide a viable solution for regions of the world with water shortages.
It is estimated that by 2050, more than 52% of the world’s population would live in water-stressed areas, and many of these areas are arid or semi-arid and have an abundance of solar energy. Solar powered stills are well suited to these regions or other places where there are no sustainable and affordable clean water options. Simple solar stills are used in many small scale desalination and distillation plants and have limited use in modern agricultural, industrial and

In just over a year on the job, Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington’s flurry of transactions have made it clear that the franchise is headed in one direction: Rebuild mode.
While the notion of rebuilding has become far too commonplace among Pirates fans, it is a direction in which Cherington and his bosses have deemed to be necessary.
Following a 2019 season in which the Pirates endured a 6-25 stretch from mid-July to mid-August and ultimately played to an ugly 69-93 record (leading to the departure of long-time manager Clint Hurdle and general manager Neal Huntington), Cherington was tasked with changing the team’s identity from one that endured annual mediocrity to one that would be atrocious for a few years but could restock i
