Move over Bear Grylls! Academics build ultimate solar-powered water purifier

(University at Buffalo) You've seen Bear Grylls turn foul water into drinking water with little more than sunlight and plastic.

The system could help address global drinking water shortages, especially in developing areas and regions affected by natural disasters.
