☀️💧 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.

Dr. David Martin: "Remdesivir was too unethical to put into Ebola clinical trials in Africa because it had a 53% kill rate."
"But it was chosen in April and May of 2020 to be the drug of choice to treat Covid... despite the fact that the World Health Organisation said it was unethical to use it."

Serious allegations from former CIA officer Larry Johnson about Senator Lindsey Graham: “There will be news coming out in the next couple of months about how he has profited financially off of money that came out of Ukraine, laundered through Latvia and made it way into his bank account. And now we're talking significant amounts of money. Department of justice is looking at it.”

Developments in the Iran-Israel war. It is currently 1:11am in Tel Aviv and 1:42am in Tehran.
Main points:
Iran and Israel have started targeting each other’s energy infrastructure.
Iranian missiles continued to target and impact northern and central Israel.
Israel has started targeting Iranian oil infrastructure, including oil refineries and oil depots.
Israeli airstrikes continue to target various parts of Tehran and the surrounding areas.
Iranian air defence seems to finally be doing some damage to Israeli missiles and drones. In turn, Israel has deployed dozens of small quadcopters and loitering munitions to waste Iranian air defence and saturate for larger attacks with cruise missiles.
Drones launched from Iran and factions in Iraq continue to target northern and southern Israel.
Missiles & drones:
2 rockets were launched from the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza by an unknown Palestinian faction. Neither were intercepted, with the IDF claiming they hit an open area with no casualties.
