- Suffolk wildfire burns for third day as firefighters douse homes in water and drop thousands of litres of seawater from helicopters - as experts warn 'area could take 25 years to recover'
A wildfire in Suffolk has burned for three days, with firefighters using water and seawater from helicopters to protect homes. Experts warn the affected area could take up to 25 years to recover.
- Seeding clouds with seawater could prevent a super El Niño
A modelling study suggests marine cloud brightening using seawater could reduce a global temperature spike from El Niño by shading the eastern Pacific, though it warns of potential unintended consequences.
- New solar desalination breakthrough makes fresh water without toxic brine
Scientists developed a solar desalination system using laser-textured metal panels to convert seawater into drinking water without producing toxic brine. The system prevents clogging by moving salt deposits away, was tested in three oceans, and recovers nearly all salts as solids, including lithium for batteries.
