In this intriguing video, we explore the science behind evaporation by discovering how long it takes for water to dry. Watch as we conduct experiments to observe different factors affecting the drying ...

Green light means “go.” That might apply to evaporating water molecules too. Visible light, especially that of a greenish hue, might spur water to evaporate, researchers report in the Nov. 7 ...

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 ...

IISc scientists develop innovative siphon-based desalination technology, improving efficiency and scalability for clean water ...

Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For years, scientists knew this happened but didn’t fully understand why. Now, a ...

At the interface of water and air, light can, in certain conditions, bring about evaporation without the need for heat, according to a new study. Evaporation is happening all around us all the time, ...

Solar-driven interfacial desalination has long faced challenges such as huge heat loss, relatively low efficiency, and easy ...

For this episode of “For Science!” we explore the concepts of solubility and density using the “floating fish” experiment. Because dry erase markers are created to not stick to surfaces, it is made ...
