Watering and fertilizing crops to provide enough food for a changing world is a major challenge in agriculture. Now, scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a “smart soil” that can keep plants better hydrated and provide a contro… Continue reading “Smart soil” grows 138% bigger crops using 40% less water
It’s an unfortunate irony that while many regions struggle to find enough water, there’s trillions of liters of the stuff floating around in the air everywhere. A new water harvester design from MIT can pull enough fresh water out of the air to meet th… Continue reading Harvester pulls 1.5 gallons of drinking water from arid air per day
United States water facilities, which include 150,000 public water systems, have become an increasingly high-risk target for cyber criminals in recent years. This rising threat has demanded more attention and policies focused on improving cybersecurity. Water and wastewater systems are one of the 16 critical infrastructures in the U.S. The definition for inclusion in this […]

Sometimes the impossible turns out to be not so impossible. From satellite data, an international team of scientists has discovered frost forming on top of the tallest volcanic mountains in the solar system on Mars. The snag is that it shouldn’t be the… Continue reading Video: “Impossible” frost found on Martian mountains
If your tap water is less-than-drinkable, you can use filtration systems, special pitchers, or bottled water to clean it up. Or, you could take a chance on a new air-to-water converter now blasting its way through an Indiegogo campaign.Continue Reading… Continue reading Countertop kitchen gadget makes drinking water out of thin air
Water can hold a huge amount of thermal energy, and a new system to tap into this resource is being trialed in Scotland. A startup called SeaWarm uses heat stored in bodies of water for buildings, pulling four times more heat out than electricity used….

A new study of ancient detrital zircons from inland Australia has found the first evidence that the Earth has had fresh water and dry land four billion years ago, much longer than previously thought. In fact, 500 million years further back in time.Cont… Continue reading Ancient crystals tell story of fresh water from four billion years ago
So you say you missed the Great Solar Storm of 2024 along with its attendant aurora? We feel you on that; the light pollution here was too much for decent …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: June 2, 2024
Scientists have discovered the potential existence of a bizarre new molecule related to water. Dubbed “aquodiium,” this ion could form under extreme conditions and may explain some of the weirdness of our solar system’s ice giant planets.Continue Readi… Continue reading Alien ion of water may explain why Uranus is so weird
