A serendipitous observation has led to a surprising discovery: a new class of nanostructured materials that can pull water from the air, collect it in pores and release it onto surfaces without the ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

Evaporation is the natural process of liquid water turning into water vapor. As Colorado and Western states heat up, more water evaporates into the atmosphere, leaving less for irrigation and ...

Evaporation is the largest water consumer in South Texas. It consumes more water than all municipal and industrial water ...

But some of the water also ends up going elsewhere — vanishing into thin air. Water lost to evaporation has become a central point of contention in the disagreement between California and six ...

Imagine a world in which, by using only light, one can vaporize water without the need for heat—quite like something out of ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For more than a hundred years, California, Arizona, and Nevada never ...

But we would like to capture energy from evaporation ... We haven't been able to capture energy from that effectively, until now." The other applications of such technology are seemingly endless ...

When water molecules do this, they change from liquid water to water vapor – a gas. This changing from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation. Heating a liquid causes the water molecules to move ...

In other words, while it's true that evaporation has been happening all of these years due to fluctuations in temperature, water has also been turning to vapor from the force of light beams alone.
