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 ...

Understanding the deposition of micro- or nano-particles is central to designing innovative bioassays, biosensors, functional surfaces and ink-jet printing. An evaporating droplet containing colloidal ...

Have you ever spilled coffee on a solid surface such as the floor, table or clothing? Most of us have had the experience, but if you have not, or if you are curious, spill just a drop and let it dry ...

Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar receives funding from the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. He works for Northumbria University. The droplet evaporation process that forms water marks ...

Let's start with the important part—why would a lake lose water? Actually, you can try this yourself. Get some water and put it in a shallow pan. Leave the pan with water on your counter for a couple ...

Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For years, scientists knew this happened but didn’t fully understand why. Now, a ...

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, it is increasingly urgent to understand how climate impacts the spread of the coronavirus, particularly as winter virus infections are more common and the northern ...

Speak to any scientist, and they would probably confirm the truth behind the myth that science simply wouldn’t happen without the input of coffee. Most of us seem to mainline it in order to achieve ...
