Humidity, that pesky mainstay of summer, is an untapped source of renewable energy. And now, researchers have developed the first ever engines driven by evaporation. The devices, described in Nature ...

Evaporation is so common that everybody thinks it's a well understood phenomenon. Appearances can be, however, deceptive. Recently, a new, earlier not predicted mechanism of evaporation was discovered ...

Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how to simulate rain. Discover how to simulate rain in this fun and ...

Water droplets might seem simple at first. But when nearing evaporation, a desperate power struggle of competing physical forces can emerge, with explosive effects. In a new Proceedings of the ...

Water, plastic and bacterial spores might become the power source of the future. The spores soak up moisture and release vapor, and researchers at Columbia University have built a device to tap the ...

In a quest for a truly self-sustainable source of power, EPFL scientists have explored the hydrovoltaic effect, which makes electricity through the ev.

In rural Colorado, one in five people is over 65. We'll talk about the challenges of aging in place in a small town, like Rangely, as part of our series, Aging Matters. Then, how climate change is ...
