Gadget grabs more solar energy to disinfect water faster
Researchers have created a nanostructured device, about half the size of a postage stamp, that disinfects water much faster than the UV method by also making use of the visible part of the solar spectrum, which contains 50 percent of the sun's energy. Ref. Source 4h.
Solar power is becoming a much better and more reliable source of energy. Back in the 70s and 80s it was new technology and not very efficient but now that has changed a lot. I have a lot of faith in the future of solar power and the fact that it is being used as a method of purifying water to give clean water to areas where clean fresh water are scarce makes it much better.
