On a hot August day, CU Boulder climatologist Peter Blanken and Ph.D. student Holly Roth cleaned a $50,000 weather station at the edge of Standley Lake to measure a phenomenon even grade schoolers ...

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 ...

Dr. Ozgur Sahin, an associate professor of biological sciences and physics at Columbia University, who has helped develop a floating, piston-driven engine that generates power, most succinctly ...

Solar and wind power get all the attention, but harvesting energy from evaporation could go a long way toward solving our power problems — at least in theory. This method of harvesting energy is in ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have looked at how agrivoltaic installations could help to reduce evaporation rates on water surfaces. “We investigated, in ...

The warmer than average winter has led to limited ice cover on the Great Lakes as of January 27, 2020. Evaporation can be higher when ice cover is lacking, but it’s not a certainty. Evaporation is the ...

Scientists report the development of two novel devices that derive power directly from evaporation -- a floating, piston-driven engine that generates electricity causing a light to flash, and a rotary ...

Las Vegas • Researchers are working to better measure how much water is lost to evaporation at the nation’s two largest reservoirs as part of effort they say could lead to new water management ...

You know water evaporates - that's when it turns from a liquid to a gas. You probably also know that a hot pot of water will cool off in part because of evaporation. However, did you know that a cup ...

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 ...
