Antarctica’s mysterious Blood Falls aren’t made by minerals after all

A bright red waterfall isn’t something you’d expect to see on the icy landscape of Antarctica, but that’s exactly what’s pouring out from the foot of Taylor Glacier. A team of scientists now claims to have solved the long-standing mystery behind the cr… Continue reading Antarctica’s mysterious Blood Falls aren’t made by minerals after all

NASA converts pee to drinkable water on International Space Station

Astronauts on interplanetary missions will be a bit less thirsty after a new NASA system succeeded at reclaiming 98% of waste water aboard the International Space Station (ISS) by converting things like urine into a drinkable state.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading NASA converts pee to drinkable water on International Space Station

Could predatory bacteria replace chlorine as an effective water purifier?

Chlorine has long been used as an effective way of removing microorganisms, including bacteria, from drinking water but it has been linked to health problems. In a new study, researchers looked at how the bacteria responded when chlorine was removed fr… Continue reading Could predatory bacteria replace chlorine as an effective water purifier?

Salt-loaded hydrogel pulls water from the air, even in desert conditions

Researchers have created a superabsorbent hydrogel that can pull moisture from the air in greater quantities than previously reported materials, even in desert conditions. The new material opens the door to creating an effective, sustainable method of … Continue reading Salt-loaded hydrogel pulls water from the air, even in desert conditions

6,000-mile plume spurts from icy moon into water “donut” around Saturn

Saturn’s moon Enceladus is famous for its plumes that spray water into space. Now the James Webb Space Telescope has watched the biggest known plume so far, spanning thousands of miles, and studied how they feed a huge water “donut” around Saturn.Conti… Continue reading 6,000-mile plume spurts from icy moon into water “donut” around Saturn

Sunlight-activated powder disinfects water in just 60 seconds

If you leave a clear bottle of water in the sunlight, the ultraviolet rays will kill any harmful microbes in that water, making it drinkable … but it has to sit in the sun for at least six hours. A new sunlight-activated powder, however, does the job i… Continue reading Sunlight-activated powder disinfects water in just 60 seconds

Webb confirms water in weird comet, but something else is missing

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor on an object in the asteroid belt, a region of the solar system where it wasn’t known to survive. The new observations also reveal something missing unexpectedly.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, S… Continue reading Webb confirms water in weird comet, but something else is missing

Reusable nanoparticle-coated sponge removes heavy metals from water

Removing heavy metal pollutants from water could soon be easier than ever, thanks to an experimental new sponge. With just one treatment, the device brought contaminated water down to safely drinkable levels.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, Scien… Continue reading Reusable nanoparticle-coated sponge removes heavy metals from water
