MIT’s New Desalination System Produces Freshwater That Is “Cheaper Than Tap Water”

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 paper published on September 27 in the … Continue reading MIT’s New Desalination System Produces Freshwater That Is “Cheaper Than Tap Water”
