Fish gill-inspired aerogel advances solar desalination
Original: Fish gill-inspired aerogel tackles long-standing issue in solar desalination
Researchers have developed an aerogel modelled on the structure of fish gills that addresses a long-standing problem in solar desalination, according to Tech Xplore. The material is designed to improve the efficiency of turning seawater into fresh water using sunlight, though details of the team behind it and the specific issue solved were not provided in the report.
Why now: Fresh interest in low-energy water purification technologies as water scarcity concerns grow.
