☀️💧 Solar-powered desalination system is cheap enough to solve the world’s drinking water shortage
MIT and Shanghai researchers created a solar desalination system that transforms seawater into affordable drinking water, using only sunlight.
Engineers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China are working on an innovative solar-powered desalination system to convert seawater into drinkable water. The system aims to provide clean water more affordably than tap water.
In a study published in Joule, the researchers outlined their design for a passive desalination device. This system uses natural sunlight to heat seawater, promoting evaporation and leaving salt behind. The water vapor is then condensed into pure drinking water.
What sets this system apart from others is its ability to avoid clogging by keeping the salt in motion. Salt accumulation can be a major issue in desalination systems, but the team’s design ensures the salt is continuously flushed out instead of building up and blocking the system.
The potential impact is significant. The researchers estimate that a device about the size of a small suitcase could generate 4 to 6 liters of drinkable water per hour. This small-scale system could supply enough water to meet the needs of a small family. At this scale, it could even provide cheaper water than tap water, according to Lenan Zhang, a research scientist at MIT.
The world’s fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. It’s not just fast, it’s rewriting what’s possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
✔️ An F1 car
✔️ A Tesla Plaid
✔️ Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
⚡️A Russian drone strike hit the car of Chief Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf in Kherson, head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine’s local chapter.
Yosef is well known for assisting SBU and Nationalists in tracking down pro Russian Ukrainians who supported Russian forces during the liberation and uses his synagogue, as a shield, to help assemble FPVs for Ukrainian forces.
1. Geopolitical & Military Tensions
Thailand–Cambodia conflict: Martial law has been declared, over 138,000 people have fled, and both sides have exchanged fire. Terrain challenges and border disputes intensify risks of prolonged conflict.
Middle East flashpoints: The Gaza conflict escalates as Israel prepares for a major offensive and new ceasefire efforts stall. Suwayda, Syria, sees Druze self-administration declared.
Russia–Ukraine talks: Zelensky confirms negotiations, but a Putin-Zelensky meeting is still seen as unlikely by the Kremlin.
ISIS strike: U.S. CENTCOM killed a senior ISIS leader and his sons in Syria.
2. Western Politics, Immigration, and Populism
UK Islamophobia sentiment: A new survey shows over 50% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values, potentially fueling anti-immigration politics.
Jeremy Corbyn’s new party: Gathers 200,000 members; promotes anti-austerity, pro-immigrant policies in contrast to rising nationalist sentiment.

🇨🇦 Stefan Molyneux on X: Almost every government policy in the West is designed to prevent family formation for the native population.
📝 Roger Marques: "Could not agree more.
Housing is expensive.
Families taxed to the bone.
Prices are so high that both elements of the couple must work.
Women are incentivized to not care about having children in their prime.
Public schooling literally retards children.
The culture is profoundly anti-children.
What else?"
