In its most basic form,a conventional solar still contains undrinkable water that is set beneath a cover.The water evaporates (as it's heated by the sun,condensing (on the inside surface of the cover.That condensation-which is pure,clean waterdrops down the cover and is collected in a separate container for drinking. In order to warm the dirty salty water at a faster rate,scientists have developed materials that float on its surface,turning sunlight into heat.And while those materials have been made from a number of different substances,they commonly use carbon obtained from coal.Seeking a less costly and more eco-friendly alternative,Prof.Edison and colleagues at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University looked to something that does't have to be mined and is free for the taking-fruit waste.More specifically,the scientists tried out coconut peels,orange peels and banana peels. In the process,the fruit waste was heated at 850C for a few hours,and mixed with a kind of chemical substance.Doing so transformed the fruit waste into a new material which has a very high light-to-heat transforming efficiency. When tested,this new material proved to be very potent at transforming sunlight into heat then.And because the material is full of holes,the water steam is able to rise right through it,then condensing on the inside of the still's cover. Prof.Edison and his team found material obtained from the coconut peels worked best,as it transformed sunlight to heat with an efficiency rate of 94%0.They are now developing the technology further,and are seeking industry partners to help with its commercialization. 1.What is the Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The basic working principle of solar stills. B.The advantages of conventional solar stills. C.The new materials of building a solar still.

The Hani people,deeply connected to the land,have developed sustainable farming techniques passed down through generations.They take good care of each terrace, ensuring that the rice fields are always filled with water and nutrients necessary for growth.These terraces not only provide a means of living for the Hani people but also serve as a cultural symbol of their harmonious relationship with nature. Visitors to the Hani Terraces are often impressed by the impressive beauty and skilled craftsmanship displayed by the Hani people.The sight of the terraces during sunrise or sunset is particularly breathtaking,as the sunlight reflects off the water-filled fields,creating an appealing display of colors.Many tourists also have the opportunity to interact with the Hani locals,gaining insights into their traditional way of life and cultural practices.
