The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected water vapor near a planet in another system, which could mark the first direct detection of a rocky exoplanet’s atmosphere. But there’s a big if hanging over the find.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, S… Continue reading James Webb may have detected water vapor in rocky planet’s atmosphere
Engineers at EPFL have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water. The system is not only highly efficient at producing hydrogen, it also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat to put them to use t… Continue reading Solar dish reactor produces hydrogen and captures waste products

A new study led by UCLA scientists on how water forms on young exoplanets with hydrogen atmospheres and molten oceans of magma suggests that Earth-like planets may not be as uncommon as once thought and that the presence of water on such planets may be… Continue reading Earth-like exoplanets may be much more common than previously thought
The male desert sandgrouse might not be much to look at, but his belly feathers give him the unique ability to absorb and carry water. Researchers have, for the first time, closely examined the structure of the feathers to see how they absorb water and… Continue reading Water-absorbing feathers could inspire better bottles and fog harvesters
When it comes to reducing emissions from human sources, we’re at the point now where we need to take a broad-based approach. It’s not enough to simply make our cars …read more Continue reading Weird Electric Jet Skis Are Hitting The Waves
One in five animal species on the planet are beetles, with around 400,000 species officially described but scientists believing there could be as many as 1.5 million different types of these resilient little bugs on Earth. And with short lifespans of b… Continue reading Secrets behind beetle butt hydration could save world crops
While it can be straightforward to distill water to high purity, this is rarely the best method for producing water for useful purposes. Even drinking water typically needs certain minerals …read more Continue reading Remote Water Quality Monitoring
It would be an understatement to say that mussels and other mollusks usually aren’t thought of as being particularly active. Recently, however, scientists have documented a water-squirting behavior in just one species, which is apparently using the act… Continue reading Scientists unlock the survival secret of water-squirting mother mussels
A team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Myongji University, both located in Seoul, has published a new paper describing an “electricity generation and purification membrane for water recycling.”Continue ReadingCategory: Tec… Continue reading Water purification membrane generates electricity as it filters
