Graphene coatings may offer the ability to control the water evaporation process from various surfaces, according to new research. The study looked at the interactions of water molecules with various ...

Freshwater is essential for human life and the scarcity of freshwater is a critical issue in parts of the world today. In recent years, scientists have put great efforts into developing desalination ...

A group of researchers from Duke University in the U.S. has developed a new coating process for the creation of hybrid thin film materials. The researchers say their process allows for the creation of ...

Evaporation is an endothermic process undertaken by all liquids. This physical state change occurs when surface molecules gain sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the enthalpy of vaporization. Such ...

Picture a world where we can efficiently desalinate seawater using just the power of sunlight, or where our cooling systems are powered by light instead of electricity. This might sound like science ...
