An international collaboration of academics from Jilin University, NYU Abu Dhabi’s Smart Materials Lab, and the Center for Smart Engineering Materials has made a groundbreaking contribution to sustainable water harvesting. The team, led by Professor Pance Naumov, has created a new crystalline substance. That can collect water from fog without [...]
A more straightforward and effective method of drawing drinking water from the atmosphere has been made possible through a water harvester. The goal of a new prototype, constructed using temperature-sensitive materials, is to use less energy than traditional techniques to deliver clean water to areas with limited supplies. Created by [...]
Water pollution is a worldwide problem that threatens habitats, human wellness, and economies. Traditional wastewater treatment technologies can be expensive and resource-intensive, so researchers are looking for novel and sustainable solutions. One unexpected and intriguing approach is the utilization of discarded beer yeast. Breweries are generally renowned for making beer, but [...]
Amidst the ominous specter of ecological collapse and toxic dust storms looming over the Great Salt Lake, Utah state leaders find themselves grappling with unconventional solutions. One particularly attention-grabbing proposal involves the construction of a Pacific Ocean seawater pipeline, envisioned as a remedy to counteract the alarming depletion of the [...]
In a transformative leap towards sustainable water management, the Gila River Indian Community has embarked on an unprecedented initiative, joining forces with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to pioneer the integration of solar panels over a crucial stretch of irrigation canal within its southern Phoenix territory. This visionary project [...]
