Global drinking water scarcity is a severe problem for humans. Water purification consumes a large amount of fossil energy and generates secondary pollution. Solar-thermal interfacial evaporation has been considered the most promising strategy for addressing this problem.

Warning: ‘Keys Of The Food System’ Being Handed Over To Big Tech by Nick Jacobs
A misguided technological revolution is about to sweep through food systems, but civil society and social movements can stop it in its tracks. Imagine a world where algorithms are used to optimize growing conditions on every fertile square meter of land. Where whole ecosystems are re-engineered. Where drones and surveillance systems manage the farm. Where […]
Delve Into The History Of The Fight For Earth’s Endangered Creatures by Sarah Zielinski
