Hot air holds more moisture than cold air. That simple truth, while familiar to anyone who’s used a blow dryer or walked ...

Hot air holds more moisture. That’s why you can blow your hair dry even after a steamy shower. It’s also what dumps rain in the tropics and sucks water from desert soils. A new study, published in ...

The conditions the past couple of days have supercharged the atmosphere to produce some localized deluges in portions of ...

A new study shows that rising ‘atmospheric thirst’ is responsible for about 40% of the increase in drought severity over the ...

The concentrated moisture comes from the ocean. Warm oceans evaporate water into the atmosphere, and winds and storms concentrate that water vapor into long, narrow, speedy trains of extra-wet air.

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

MIT engineers have created an atmospheric water harvester that can generate fresh water in any location, including extreme ...

A scientist in Turkey has simulated eight PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting systems and compared their performances. They were all considered to operate with R1233zd(E), R1234yf, and ...

Researchers at MIT have tested a new technology for turning water vapor in the atmosphere into drinkable water, even in ...
