Sponge-like material filled with air pockets can transform saltwater into freshwater using the sun, supporting sustainable desalination ...

Most of the water on Earth is salty ocean water—not suitable for drinking. While desalination plants can remove the salt and make seawater drinkable, they use a lot of energy and expensive equipment.

A team of geologists drilled through strange formations dotting the Great Salt Lake's drying playa, and were surprised by what they found.

In a leap toward sustainable desalination, researchers have created a solar-powered sponge-like aerogel that turns seawater ...

Most of Earth’s water is in the oceans and too salty to drink. Desalination plants can make seawater drinkable, but they ...

Researchers developed a sponge-like material with long, microscopic air pockets that uses sunlight and a simple plastic cover ...

Caption: A custom-made setup removes salt from seawater in natural sunlight, using a beaker of seawater, a black piece of aerogel, and a curved plastic cap that drips into a funnel and beaker.

A massive and surprising change is unfolding around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting saltier, and sea ice is melting at record speed, enough to match the size ...

According to Ian Thomas, a plumber at Frontdoor, Inc., you should be checking your water softener system weekly to determine ...

Surfers are used to getting mouthfuls of saltwater.
