Researchers at MIT have developed a groundbreaking water purification system that uses solar energy to remove contaminants from water sources. This technology could provide clean drinking water to millions of people in developing countries.

The system combines advanced filtration materials with solar thermal energy to achieve 99.9% purification efficiency. Initial trials in rural communities have shown remarkable success, with families gaining access to clean water for the first time.

"This technology represents hope for communities that have struggled with water access for generations," said Dr. Sarah Chen, lead researcher on the project. The team plans to deploy 100 units across three countries in the next year.
