We all know that water evaporates when the temperature climbs, but researchers have just shown that there's another factor at play. The breakthrough could solve long-standing atmospheric mysteries and ...

About a year and a half ago, Arielle Breuninger read an article about how drought-stricken Los Angeles has been using small black plastic “shade balls” to prevent water evaporation in its reservoirs.

Light can evaporate water. At least that seems to be the case, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The new study posits that light can ...

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 ...

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 ...

The science and how this applies to our atmosphere: At first, when you put the warm cloth on the bottle, you will notice the temperature increase. But over time, the temperature inside the bottle ...

It's not likely to replace the combustion engine anytime soon. At first sight, it looks like an experiment at a high school science fair. But the so-called evaporation engine seems to have more ...
