A new study, published in Science on May 12th, 2022, found a new method to purify water that is 2400 times faster than even experimental…
Researchers recently confirmed that the world’s lakes are rapidly losing oxygen. What does it mean for water quality that oxygen is declining globally? Scientists have…
Researchers have developed a low-cost gel film that can pull water from the air in even dry climates like the desert. More than a third…
