A wireless, passive embedded sensor was applied for real-time monitoring of water content in civil engineering materials such as sands, subgrade soils, and concrete materials. The sensor, which ...

In order to solve the problem of insulation performance degradation caused by water tree aging of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a self-healing method of XLPE material based on microcapsule system ...

MIT scientists have created a game-changing new "bubble wrap" material that can turn air into water that's safe to drink.

A new exhibition in London (open until February 2026) called Thirst: In search of freshwater highlights how civilizations ...

Researchers at MIT have tested a new technology for turning water vapor in the atmosphere into drinkable water, even in ...

University of Pennsylvania's researchers accidentally stumbled onto a novel material that can pull water from the air without ...

In a nutshell Scientists engineered a self-sustaining system using cyanobacteria and fungi that can grow on Martian soil simulant, air, light, and water to form solid, cement-like materials. The ...

Commercialization of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting technology is hindered by the slower kinetics of oxygen evolution in the currently available photoanodes. Light absorption, ...

The aerogel also gives the material sponge-like properties that make the desorption process, or release of the water from the membrane, easier. "The only energy this system requires is the small ...

Water transport in periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) was studied using pulsed field gradient NMR. A series of isogeometric PMO materials with different chemical compositions of the pore walls ...
