Holds Promise for Large-Scale Hydrogen Production, Desalination Seawater is one of the most abundant resources on earth, offering promise both as a source of hydrogen – desirable as a source... Read more
Scientists have demonstrated a new bio-inspired material for an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to recovering uranium from seawater. A research team from the Department of Energy’s... Read more
Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen presents an alternative to fossil fuels, but purified water is a precious resource. A Stanford-led team has now developed a way to harness seawater –... Read more
Newsfacts: New research shows graphene can filter common salts from water to make it safe to drink Findings could lead to affordable desalination technology Graphene-oxide membranes have att... Read more
An ultra-high-resolution technique used for the first time to study polymer fibers that trap uranium in seawater may cause researchers to rethink the best methods to harvest this potential f... Read more
Less than 1 percent of Earth’s water is drinkable. Removing salt and other minerals from our biggest available source of water—seawater—may help satisfy a growing global population thirsty f... Read more
The new method requires so little energy that it can run on a store-bought battery. By creating a small electrical field that removes salts from seawater, chemists at The University of Texas... Read more
The usages for the material are not confined to seawater desalination There are vast quantities of seawater available; drinking water, on the other hand, is in scarce supply. Desalination pl... Read more
The potential payoff is the ability to produce JP-5 fuel stock at sea Refueling U.S. Navy vessels, at sea and underway, is a costly endeavor in terms of logistics, time, fiscal constraints a... Read more
This project is intended to bring good drinking water to the families in the developing countries at no operating cost Designer Gabriele Diamanti has created a solar oven called the Eliodome... Read more
The world needs clean water The world needs clean water, and more and more, we’re pulling it from the oceans, desalinating it, and drinking it. But what to do with the salty bri... Read more
Unique Salt Allows Energy Production to Move Inland Production of energy from the difference between salt water and fresh water is most convenient near the oceans, but now, using an a... Read more
As a young girl growing up in Massachusetts, Kim Hoffman spent many summers on her parent’s sailboat. Sometimes she would stare at the water and think, “There’s got to be a... Read more
DEBATE about America’s energy supply is heating up: gas prices are rising, ethanol is under attack and nuclear power continues to struggle in the shadow of the Fukushima disaster in Japan. B... Read more
