A huge new deposit of water has been discovered on Mars in a formation often called the Red Planet’s Grand Canyon. The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) has detected an area about the size of the Netherlands where water could make up as much as 40 percent of the… Continue reading Huge supply of subterranean water discovered in Mars’ Grand Canyon
We all learned in elementary school science that water freezes at 0 °C (32 °F) – but it’s actually not quite that simple. New experiments from the University of Houston have shown that tiny droplets can remain liquid right down to -44 °C (-47.2 °F), if… Continue reading Soft surfaces keep water liquid well below freezing limit
For one-off projects or prototypes it’s not uncommon for us to make do with whatever workspace we have on hand. Using a deck railing as an impromptu sawhorse, for example, …read more Continue reading Keep The Sparks Away With a Plasma Cutting Table
Accounting for where all of the Earth’s water came from is a longstanding puzzle, but an international team of scientists led by the University of Glasgow has proposed that the Sun may be a major source of our planet’s H₂O, by way of hydrogen from the … Continue reading Asteroid analysis suggests some of Earth’s water came from the Sun
There’s a lot of opinions and theories around the storing and drying of 3D printing materials. Some people are absolutely convinced you must bake filament if it been stored outside …read more Continue reading Do You Really Need To Dry Filament?
Adhesives that hold strong in wet environments are elusive, but could be useful for underwater repairs or healing in the body. Researchers have now developed a new type of adhesive hydrogel that combines the underwater stickiness of mussels with the st… Continue reading New adhesive boasts stickiness of mussels and strength of spider silk
For over a decade, Israeli atmospheric water generator (AWG) company Watergen has been one of the players working to refine and grow air-to-water technology that can efficiently pull water vapor out of the air and collect it as fresh, filtered drinking… Continue reading Mobile H2O generator pulls drinking water from air for off-grid nomads
The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and electricity, but that doesn’t mean the material no longer has any valuable uses. According to a new study, it could be utilized in the desalination of seawater.Continue R… Continue reading Coal could find new use in eco-friendly desalination tech
When sourcing drinking water in the great outdoors it can pay to take no chances, and a new line of bottles co-developed by CamelBak and Lifestraw is designed to keep risk of contamination to a minimum. The drinking vessels pack two lots of filtering t… Continue reading CamelBak’s latest bottles integrate LifeStraw’s water filtering tech
[3DPrintedLife aka Andrew DeGonge] saw that advert for gatorade that shows some slick stop-motion animation using a so-called ‘liquid printer’ and wondered how they built the machine and got it …read more Continue reading Gravity-Defying Water Drop Display Shows Potential
