Researchers have developed a self-cleaning desalination system that transforms seawater into fresh drinking water without producing toxic brine waste. By collecting the leftover salt as a solid, this innovative technology can also harvest precious resources like lithium, turning a environmental challenge into a sustainable benefit.
