Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected via a container with a sloped quartz roof. The researchers found that water desalinated using the technology contains lower levels of salt than ordinary drinking water. They added that the desalination unit can be rapidly deployed in remote seaside areas without access to pota...

Published in  ST-OSCs don’t affect plant growth The researchers sought to use ST-OSCs to reduce the energy footprint of greenhouses. Scientists can adjust ST-OSCs in such a way that they capture a portion of light for generating power and allow the rest to pass through. However, it’s not clear how plants in greenhouses fitted with ST-OSCs would react. To understand how ST-OSCs affect plants, the researchers grew four groups of red leaf lettuce for 30 days. The control group was exposed t...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/512607.html (Natural News) Regular access to fresh water is a luxury for more than 1.5 billion people who live in arid locations. On the other hand, sunshine is abundant in these places that lack fresh water. With this in mind, a team of researchers are developing a device that creates fresh water using the power of the sun. The team’s new device can produce water sufficient for a family of four every day. To make this possible, researchers at the University o...

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) joined a project that would develop special satellites that could identify air pollution “super emitters.” NASA said in a statement on April 15 that its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California would be providing an instrument that would be built into the satellites. Carbon Mapper, the nonprofit leading the project, aims to use the satellites to provide a more targeted approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. “What w...
