In a leap toward sustainable desalination, researchers have created a solar-powered sponge-like aerogel that turns seawater ...

MIT scientists have created a game-changing new "bubble wrap" material that can turn air into water that's safe to drink.

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

Researchers have developed a sponge-like material with long, microscopic air pockets that uses sunlight and a simple plastic ...

Researchers at MIT have tested a new technology for turning water vapor in the atmosphere into drinkable water, even in ...

How can people survive in a hostile environment during drought conditions? A new device developed by scientists based at MIT ...

If you see water dripping from your tailpipe, it could be totally normal. Or it could foreshadow catastrophe. Here's how to ...

In a Swiss pine forest, the treetops are being sprayed with mist in a bid to discover the effect that drier or wetter air has ...

This water vapor could end up being the most destructive part of the volcano's eruption because it could potentially exacerbate global warming and deplete the ozone layer, according to the study ...

The fact that water vapor is the dominant absorber in the Earth's greenhouse effect can lead to a flawed narrative that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is not important nor a significant driver ...

Water vapor also is part of the mix, but the amount varies. Depending on the temperature, the amount of water vapor in the air ranges from .001 percent to about 4 percent.

Access to clean water is a huge issue across the globe. Even in areas with water resources, a lack of infrastructure or reliable energy means purifying that water is sometimes extremely difficult.
