Evaporating water could provide enough energy to replace nearly all of the world’s nuclear power plants, research published Tuesday reveals. Around half the solar energy absorbed by the Earth is used ...

Each day, our Sun pours its energy down onto the Earth’s surface, turning vast expanses of open water into vapor. New research shows the surprising degree to which this clean and renewable process ...

A potential new source of renewable energy has been pulled out of thin air – literally. Evaporating water could provide the US with 70 percent of its electricity, according to new research. “We have ...

With very good reason, there is a big drive to promote sustainable energy sources around the world, but could one of the most efficient possible renewables be being ignored? That is what a new study ...

A new study is shedding light on why solar radiation is more effective than other forms of energy at causing water to evaporate. The key factor turns out to be the oscillating electric field inherent ...

This is where we need to start - the small particle model of liquids and gases. This model treats the liquid as being made up of a lot of particles (well, obviously). If there is a gas (or liquid) at ...

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 ...

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 ...

A vast source of renewable energy has been sitting under our noses. Evaporating water could supply enormous volumes of clean electricity, if we can only harness it. Evaporation is the process by which ...
