Although they’re far from the cheapest way to enjoy some time in the water, electric hydrofoil boards are gaining in popularity as more and more models enter the scene. But some are easier to ride than others. The newly introduced Level Board is very m… Continue reading World-first hydrofoil board uses flight computer for on-water stability
The James Dyson Award is an international competition to recognize and encourage engineering students to get creative to solve some of the most pressing problems facing the world. The national finalists from 28 regions have been announced for 2021, ahe… Continue reading Braille eBooks and mask recyclers among James Dyson Award finalists
It makes up more than half of the human body and covers around 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, but there is still a lot we don’t understand about water. By using cutting-edge tools to study microscopic jets of the liquid, scientists have spotted wat… Continue reading First observations of a “quantum tug” help unravel the weirdness of water
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere attracts most of the attention in environmental concerns, but much of that ends up in oceans, making them more acidic. Now scientists have created “nanojars” that can easily capture this and other pollutants from water…. Continue reading “Nanojars” capture carbon dioxide dissolved in water
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been exploring Gale crater for nine years, and the sediments it’s been studying look an awful lot like those left behind from an ancient lake. But now new research from the University of Hong Kong proposes a much drier explan… Continue reading Curiosity might not have landed in a lake after all, says new model
Is there anything graphene can’t do? Researchers at MIT have found yet another use for the over-achieving wonder material, by making a reusable filter out of graphene oxide foam that acts like a magnet for uranium, effectively pulling the radioactive e… Continue reading Charged graphene foam acts as “uranium magnet” for water purification
Nuclear and fossil fuel power plants consume huge amounts of water for cooling, which then goes to waste as water vapor. MIT engineers have now developed a system that can capture and recycle that lost water.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, Scien… Continue reading MIT steam collector captures pure water for reuse in power plants
In many arid regions, people use devices known as solar stills to extract drinkable water from seawater or tainted water. A new type of solar still is claimed to be much more effective than others, by incorporating a rotating cylinder.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New solar still uses a rotating cylinder to produce more potable water
A few years ago astronomers announced the incredible discovery of lakes of liquid water on Mars, buried beneath the ice cap at the south pole. But sadly, a trio of new papers refutes the claim, with new experiments suggesting that the “water” signal wa… Continue reading Liquid water “lakes” on Mars may just be frozen clay, say new studies
Researchers have created metallic water for the first time. Through a very careful experimental setup, the team grew a thin layer of a gold-colored metallic water on the outside of a droplet of liquid metal.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Water,… Continue reading Metallic water created for the first time in golden experiment
