Solar steam has many possible applications
Rice University Researchers – ( Solar Thermal Magazine)
Researchers at Rice University, with help from the Bill and Belinda Gates Foundation have found an innovative new way to make steam from solar energy. This scientific team has unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam.
This new “solar steam” method from Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics is said to be so effective it can even produce steam from icy cold water.
