April 17 (UPI) --The development of a new type of solar evaporator promises to power a new generation of cheaper and more efficient small-scale desalination technology. Roughly a billion people are ...

The rotary evaporator (rotovap) rarely appears outside of well-provisioned chemistry labs. That means that despite being a fundamentally simple device, their cost generally puts them out of reach for ...

Now, a team of researchers from UNIST in South Korea has created a solar-powered device that can produce fresh water directly from seawater—without needing any outside electricity. The new technology ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated that metal foam enhances the evaporation process in thermal conversion systems and enables the development of compact heating, ventilation and ...
