Researchers have developed a photocatalytic system based on a material in the class of metal-organic frameworks. The system can be used to degrade pollutants present in water while simultaneously producing hydrogen that can be captured and used further.
Earth’s water may have originated from both asteroidal material and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, according to new research.
Beyoncé and Tom Brady swear by it – but experts throw cold water on the new beverage fad
In the past five years, 74 cities have voted to remove fluoride from their drinking water, despite thousands of studies showing it prevents cavities.
Scientists challenges idea that life requires ‘Earth clone’
Water has numerous anomalous properties, many of which remain poorly understood. One of its intriguing behaviors is that it exhibits the so-called temperature of maximum density (TMD) at 3.98 degrees Celsius (39.16 degrees Fahrenheit). In a new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters, researchers at New York University provide experimental evidence for previously unknown abrupt changes in proton (H+) transfer kinetics in water at this temperature.
Low-cost device — shaped like a birdhouse — could help provide drinking water to people affected by natural disasters
Scientific analysis of diamond impurities — known as inclusions — reveal naturally forming ice crystals and point to water-rich regions deep below the Earth’s crust
A new filter material may be better at straining contaminants from water than the activated carbon in your faucet filter—and may be cheaper and easier to clean, to boot.
Wouldn’t you love to grow an extra inch taller — by sweating? According to NASA scientists, it is possible to grow an inch or more in height just by displacing water weight. The caveat: It only works if you’re an actual mountain.
