Scientists in Illinois created a new water filter that stops both nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from farms, solving a problem that's been poisoning rivers and lakes for decades. After a year of testing, the system worked better than existing methods and could even pay for itself.
Researchers discovered how to make water puddles up to one centimeter wide leap into the air by bursting bubbles trapped inside them. This breakthrough could revolutionize everything from 3D printing to surface cleaning without using any fuel.
Scientists created a cheap coating that keeps water bouncing off surfaces even at temperatures hot enough to brew coffee. The breakthrough could transform how we process food, purify water, and sterilize medical equipment.
Scientists in Hong Kong just solved one of the world's biggest water treatment headaches with a breakthrough that cleans wastewater faster, cheaper, and cleaner than ever before. The innovation could help cities worldwide tackle rising water costs and climate pressures.
Scientists at the University of Rochester have created aluminum tubes that stay afloat even when riddled with holes or submerged for weeks. The breakthrough could lead to nearly unsinkable ships, floating platforms, and wave-powered energy systems.
A California company is testing underwater desalination pods 1,300 feet beneath the ocean surface that use natural water pressure instead of electricity. The technology could provide 60 million gallons of fresh water daily while slashing energy use and protecting marine life. #
