The researchers tested the structure by placing it in a chamber of water and exposing it to a solar simulator — a light source that simulates various intensities of solar radiation. They found they were able to convert 85 percent of solar energy into steam at a solar intensity 10 times that of a typical sunny day.

MIT announced today that with only 10X the solar intensity of a sunny day they can convert 85% of the solar energy into steam.

 

This could be used for desalination as an example
