- Chinese tech makes desalinating seawater cheaper than producing bottled water
Chinese researchers have developed a new photothermal material that enables seawater desalination with zero utility energy costs, achieving year-long stability. The innovation involves weaving nanoparticles into a 3D photothermal evaporation material, making desalination cheaper than producing bottled water.
