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 ...

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 ...

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.

New research on water evaporation could rewrite something we all learned as children. Everyone knows that heat causes water to evaporate, but researchers from MIT have shown that there may be a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

While the cold weather may deter many from going outside, others like to take advantage of the freezing temperatures and test out different science experiments. From blowing frozen bubbles to throwing ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Do you remember making bubbles as a kid? Remember how quickly they would pop? With this activity we are making some unpoppable bubbles by making a strong solution to slow the speed of ...
