Scientists have created a solar-powered sponge that transforms seawater into drinkable water using microscopic channels and sunlight alone. It works efficiently at any size and could revolutionize off ...

In July, “June gloom” gives way to summer heat. Days are long. Tomatoes finally ripen. Summer fruits are warm on the tree.

University of Pennsylvania researchers accidentally stumbled onto a novel material that can pull water from the air without requiring external energy.   While testing a mix of hydrophilic nanopores ...

Weather patterns across the Middle East are shifting as the planet warms, and new findings suggest these shifts could undermine wind energy potential in surprising ways. While some areas may see ...

Optimized inflow geometry reduces pressure drop for increased energy savings and further mitigates the development of scale and casing erosion around the pump inlet. GeoESP box test container: A ...

Condensation is critical for applications like power generation, water harvesting, and cooling systems. However, traditional surfaces suffer from a drop in performance under high subcooling, when ...

Radar observations of the ocean surface can be affected by impacting raindrops. Ring-wave measurements are presented for drops of 2.2 and 2.8 mm in diameter impacting on fresh and salt water surfaces ...

Lake Michigan’s water levels have dropped below long-term averages for the first time in 10 years. Experts said factors like this fall’s warmer temperatures and low precipitation have affected ...

Contact angles were measured goniometrically (Ramé-Hart F100) using water and glycerol as test liquids. Surface energy values were calculated with a software program (DROPimage Standard) that uses the ...
