Ultrasonic Water Harvesting: A Breakthrough That Speeds Atmospheric Water Generation
Introduction: A New Era for Atmospheric Water Generation Researchers have long sought efficient ways to turn humidity in the air into usable drinking water. Traditional atmospheric water generators (AWGs) rely on condensation or advanced materials to extract moisture. A new approach, using ultrasonic waves, promises to dramatically accelerate this process, potentially changing water accessibility in…

Ancient Rocks Could Store CO2 by Turning to Stone Safely
Overview: A natural solution to a global problem Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have identified underground volcanic formations in the United Kingdom that could permanently store carbon dioxide by turning it into solid rock. This natural process, known as mineralization, converts CO2 into stable minerals, effectively locking away greenhouse gases for millions of tonnes.…
