Our atmosphere holds six times more water than you’ll find in all the rivers on Earth. The dew drops you see on grass and water droplets on a cold juice bottle are evidence of this natural reservoir ...

Understanding the hydration kinetics and water absorption in grains is fundamental to optimizing food processing, storage, and nutritional quality. This process involves the uptake and distribution of ...

One in five animal species on the planet are beetles, with around 400,000 species officially described but scientists believing there could be as many as 1.5 million different types of these resilient ...

Engineers find the hydrogel polyethylene glycol (PEG) doubles its water absorption as temperatures climb from 25 to 50 C, and could be useful for passive cooling or water harvesting in warm climates.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Earth’s atmosphere holds over 13,000 cubic kilometers of water vapor, yet converting this vast resource into drinkable water remains an engineering challenge. One in three people ...

These ingredients form a strong, porous sponge that can absorb water vapor from air at humidity levels ranging from 30% to 90%. That’s a wide range, making the device useful in many parts of the world ...
