A new portable solar-powered device harnesses the sun’s energy generating steam efficiently at high temperatures and pressures even in hazy or cloudy conditions. It could lead to an inexpensive electricity-free method to sterilize medical tools in rural areas and eliminate fuel use in other industrial applications. For example, many food and beverage processing systems rely on high-temperature steam, typically provided by fossil fuel-powered boilers.
