Scientists have developed an advanced new type of humidity sensor that takes inspiration from camel noses to overcome shortcomings with existing solutions. The novel device is capable of detecting low levels of water molecules in the air and opens up s… Continue reading Humidity sensor inspired by camel noses can trace moving fingers
There are a large number of methods commercially used to bore a hole into the ground for the sake of extracting drinking water, and the all require big loud equipment. …read more Continue reading Drill Does Well In Double Duty As Well Drilling Drill
Data from China’s Chang’E-5 lunar lander analyzed by an international team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the robotic spacecraft has, for the first time, detected traces of water in the rocks and regolith on the Moon’s surface.Contin… Continue reading China’s Chang’E-5 lander finds first onsite evidence of water on the Moon
The Gluggle Jug is an aptly-named thing – it’s a jug that makes loud, satisfying glugging noises when poured. But how does it work? [Steve Mould] set out to investigate. …read more Continue reading Gluggle Jug Is Neat Application of Hydrodynamics
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
