Because it doesn’t need expensive energy storage for times without sunshine, the technology could provide communities with drinking water at low costs.

Jonathan Bessette and Akash Ball have been named 2024-25 J-WAFS Fellows for water treatment technologies.

Surprising “photomolecular effect” discovered by MIT researchers could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes.

Extractive industries threaten water, glaciers, and livelihoods, but new research offers hope.

A newly identified process could explain a variety of natural phenomena and enable new approaches to desalination.

MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs.

J-WAFS Fellows discuss their inspiration for pursuing challenges in water and food systems.

The grants total over $1 million in support of research that addresses issues in the water and food sectors.

Students are driving innovative research to promote water and food security for all.

Engineers have designed a relatively low-cost, energy-efficient approach to treating water contaminated with heavy metals.
