Providing access to clean drinking water has been a challenge in some parts of the world for years. As the population grows and resources shrink, it becomes an even more pressing matter. New solar technology provides a possible solution by desalinating saltwater with minimal energy consumption.

While water covers two-thirds of the Earth, 96.5% of it is in the oceans. Desalination processes can refine this saltwater into something drinkable, but past systems have come with a range of issues. Recently, though, researchers have developed ways to desalinate seawater with the help of solar energy….
