The James Webb Space Telescope has made the first direct analysis of clouds on a nearby alien world. These aren’t just made of water vapor but also sand, which would move around the planet much like Earth’s water cycle.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, … Continue reading Sand forms clouds and rain on nearby alien planet, says Webb
Researchers have created a floating, solar-powered device that converts contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and drinking water. Because it works with any open water source and doesn’t require external power, the device could be used… Continue reading Sun-run device turns dirty water into hydrogen fuel & drinking water
Contrary to what we all learned in elementary school science class, it turns out that heat may not be necessary to make water evaporate. Scientists at MIT have made the surprising discovery that light alone can evaporate water, and is even more efficie… Continue reading Water can evaporate with just light, no heat, says surprising study
Scientists have developed what they call the most water-repellent surface ever. By giving it a liquid-like coating that defies usual designs, water will roll off the surface at angles 500 times shallower than other superhydrophobic materials.Continue R… Continue reading World’s most water-repellent surface surprises its own inventors
Getting freshwater supplied across cities and towns in a reliable and safe way is no simple task. Not only is a natural freshwater reservoir or other supply needed, but making …read more Continue reading Re-imagining the Water Supply
At disaster sites, it’s not uncommon for both the water supply and electrical grid to be out of commission. That’s where a new system may someday come in, as it utilizes just a small amount of electricity – which could be stored in a battery – to desal… Continue reading Low-power desalination tech may provide drinking water at disaster sites
Have you ever thrown a handful of raisins into a tub of sparkling water? Or peanuts into beer? It seems like an altogether strange thing to do, but if you’ve …read more Continue reading The Science Behind the Majesty of Dancing Raisins
CISA is offering a free vulnerability scanning service to water utilities to help them protect drinking water and wastewater systems against cyberattacks.
The post CISA Offering Free Vulnerability Scanning Service to Water Utilities appeared first on S… Continue reading CISA Offering Free Vulnerability Scanning Service to Water Utilities
If you’re an outdoors person, one of the earliest things you learned was probably that in-field water sources can’t always be trusted as drinkable. A clear mountain stream could have …read more Continue reading Clean Water, From a Plant-Based Filter
We often hear of cyanobacteria as being the cause of toxic blue-green algae blooms in lakes and rivers. Soon, however, a 3D-printed material that incorporates the microbes could be used to help purify polluted water – and after the bacteria are finishe… Continue reading Material uses live cyanobacteria to neutralize waterborne pollutants
