A research team at Hong Kong Polytechnic created a 3D‑printed aerogel that uses only sunlight to evaporate and condense seawater into drinkable water. Producing just about 3 tablespoons in tests, it is the first of its kind that retains efficiency when scaled, offering low‑cost, off‑grid desalination.

Neuer Aerogel wandelt Salzwasser mit Sonnenlicht in Trinkwasser um

ARS TECHNICA

Ein Team in Hongkong entwickelte einen 3D-gedruckten Aerogel, der nur Sonnenlicht nutzt, um Meerwasser in sauberes Trinkwasser zu verwandeln. Es ist die erste skalierbare Lösung dieser Art – kostengünstig, netzunabhängig und ideal für wasserarme Regionen. Ein echter Durchbruch.
