Water damage can quickly make even the nicest buildings unliveable. [Andres Leon] suffered a small flood from an air conditioning unit, and wanted to avoid such issues in future. Thus, …read more Continue reading Wireless Water Detector Hooks Up To Home Assistant
Scientists studying the biology of the tardigrade have filled in important new details around how the tiny aquatic creature can survive the harshest of conditions. The discovery centers on a newfound mechanism that kicks into gear as dehydration sets i… Continue reading Discovery explains how unkillable tardigrades survive without water

Engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a tiny but powerful laser that could one day help astronauts find water on the Moon. Smaller than a US quarter, the laser makes use of quantum mechanical effects to produce a beam in the te… Continue reading Tiny quantum cascade laser could help astronauts find water on the Moon
Change on industrial scales is slow, but if you’re operating your own small farm or simply working in a home garden there are some excellent ways to use water more …read more Continue reading 2022 Hackaday Prize: Plant Monitoring System Grows To Include LoRa
Engineers at the University of Vienna have developed a new composite material that makes an efficient filter for removing organic pollutants from water. The system uses super-porous “nano-sponges” embedded on a sheet of graphene.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Nano-sponges on graphene make efficient filters of industrial wastewater
Everyone knows that the application of heat is necessary to boil water, but thanks to new research, much less heat may soon be required. A novel surface treatment allows water to reach a boiling point more easily, thus requiring less energy to do so.Co… Continue reading Energy-saving MIT tech boosts the boiling of water
Did you know that water can drip UP instead of down? It’s true! Okay, okay- it’s a bit of an optical illusion, but one that’s mesmerizing no less, and it’s …read more Continue reading Water Drips Up In Kid-Friendly Engineering Experiment
When cooking oil is extracted from peanuts and sunflower seeds, a waste product known as oilseed meal is left behind. New research shows that proteins harvested from that meal can be used to filter heavy metals out of contaminated water.Continue Readin… Continue reading Low-cost filters use plant waste to remove heavy metals from water
Water leaks can be pernicious things. Even just a few drips per minute happening undetected inside a wall can cause major damage if left unrepaired for long enough. AquaPing is …read more Continue reading A Water Leak Detector That Listens Carefully
