This is a pretty cool chemistry innovation to address an important global need. Liquid metal, tannins, and graphene combined to make a highly efficient solar thermal absorber that can be used to generate potable water by evaporative desalination.

A new recipe for transparent electronics 👓⚡
#USYD + UNSW researchers use a high-entropy liquid metal alloy to create ultrathin p-type gallium oxide sheets: highly transparent + conductive. A step toward flexible displays, LEDs & solar tech. Via Sydney Analytical CRF.
