Sometimes the impossible turns out to be not so impossible. From satellite data, an international team of scientists has discovered frost forming on top of the tallest volcanic mountains in the solar system on Mars. The snag is that it shouldn’t be the… Continue reading Video: “Impossible” frost found on Martian mountains
If your tap water is less-than-drinkable, you can use filtration systems, special pitchers, or bottled water to clean it up. Or, you could take a chance on a new air-to-water converter now blasting its way through an Indiegogo campaign.Continue Reading… Continue reading Countertop kitchen gadget makes drinking water out of thin air
Water can hold a huge amount of thermal energy, and a new system to tap into this resource is being trialed in Scotland. A startup called SeaWarm uses heat stored in bodies of water for buildings, pulling four times more heat out than electricity used….

A new study of ancient detrital zircons from inland Australia has found the first evidence that the Earth has had fresh water and dry land four billion years ago, much longer than previously thought. In fact, 500 million years further back in time.Cont… Continue reading Ancient crystals tell story of fresh water from four billion years ago

In Frank Herbert’s Dune novels, water is so scarce on planet Arrakis that it’s absolutely sacred to the desert-dwelling Fremen, who wear special ‘stillsuits’ that capture and recycle nearly all their body fluids. Now, a YouTuber has built one for real…. Continue reading Real-life ‘stillsuit’ recycles body fluids into drinkable water
Scientists have developed tiny “robots” which appear to be very effective at removing microplastics pollution from water. What’s more, the little bots also target the harmful bacteria that often hitch a ride on the plastic particles.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Tiny tenacious robots snatch bacteria and microplastics out of the water
