MIT researchers have created a portable desalination system. The water machine could be used in countries that lack the infrastructure needed to deliver water on a regular basis or be used in disaster zones like Haiti.

In the past couple of years, massive chunks of ice have broken off of Antarctica, stoking fear that the polar ice caps — the North and South poles, Arctic and Antarctic — might one day completely collapse.
Vulnerable and rapidly changing, Antarctica alone is already contributing a third of the total rise in global sea level.
Needless to say, monitoring the state of the ice caps is particularly important.
