New technology combines wood, bacteria, sunlight to purify water

Washington DC (UPI) Jul 08, 2020

Engineers have developed a new wood-based steam generator that can purify water using bacteria-produced nanomaterials and the sun's energy. Solar steam generators, which use the sun's energy to separate water molecules from contaminants via evaporation, aren't new, but the quest to make the technology as efficient as possible is never-ending. When working to improve upon solar st
