Solar-Powered Desalinator by MIT Turns Seawater Into Drinking Water With Zero Electricity MIT engineers have created a breakthrough solar-powered desalinator that can turn seawater into clean drinking water without using any external electricity. This compact, low-cost device is designed to operate anywhere sunlight is available — making it a powerful solution for coastal villages, disaster zones, and remote areas facing water scarcity. • The system uses sunlight to heat and evaporate seawater,

1.5M views · 6.5K reactions | MIT researchers have created ultra-thin solar panels with sticker backs allowing you to stick them anywhere you need immediate power. They deliver 18 times as much power per kilogram as traditional solar panels and can be used in more places with less set up. These ultra-portable panels can make the difference in remote regions where emergencies require more power. | Mashable | Facebook

Researchers at MIT have developed a solar-powered desalination system that can turn seawater into safe drinking water without using electricity, batteries, or external power sources. Unlike conventional desalination plants that rely on energy-intensive reverse osmosis, this device uses passive solar evaporation. The system is made from layered materials that efficiently absorb sunlight and evaporate water while preventing salt buildup, a common problem in older designs. Clean water vapor condens
