Study reveals color changes in China’s 2,550 lakes over past 40 years
Lakes provide critical resources for humankind. The interaction of optically active constituents in water with solar radiation makes the lakes on the Earth colorful. Compared with a single water quality parameter, lake water color can reflect the comprehensive state change of lake environment. In general, lake color is related to productivity, water quality, and ecological state. […]

Solar desalination system realizes solid-liquid separation
Researchers at Nanjing University have designed a solar-driven desalination system to produce high-quality freshwater and sea salt at the same time. Such systems are promising to broadly benefit off-grid arid coastal areas by providing an efficient, low-cost water source with added benefit of economic gain from recovering valuable sea salt. The system utilizes infrared photons […]
