Water is usually something you’d want to keep away from electronic circuits, but engineers in Germany have now developed a new concept for water-based switches that are much faster than current semiconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Electron… Continue reading Water-based circuit concept switches much faster than semiconductors
You’ve probably heard it before – if you don’t put the lid down on the toilet, droplets of filth will fly out when you flush it. Scientists have now visualized that process for the first time, in hopes of reducing it with better toilet designs.Continue… Continue reading Visualization of “toilet plumes” may lead to cleaner, safer bathrooms
Well, this is embarrassing! Imagine sending a multibillion-dollar rover to an ancient lakebed on Mars only to discover after a year of poking around at the rocks that it might …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: December 4, 2022
Grayl launched into mountains and forests back in 2013 with a filter bottle built to collect water in the wild and make it safe to drink in seconds. In the nine years since, the company’s line of backcountry products has grown to include a variety of t… Continue reading Grayl titanium multitool bottle purifies water and cooks dinner
While the purification of wastewater once just involved the removal of traditional pollutants, it now also entails the removal of microplastic particles. A new powder reportedly does the job much quicker and more thoroughly than has previously been pos… Continue reading “Nanopillared” material removes microplastics from water via magnetism
[RiverTechJess] is in the process of getting a PhD in environmental engineering and has devoted a chapter to creating a turbidity sensor for river network monitoring. Environmental sensing benefits from …read more Continue reading Rapid Prototyping to Measure Turbidity in Rapids
New evidence has emerged in the ongoing debate about whether or not there’s water on Mars. In a study led by the University of Cambridge, scientists examined the topology of Martian ice sheets and found signatures that match subglacial lakes here on Ea… Continue reading New study adds compelling evidence for lake of liquid water on Mars
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
