The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can ...

Whether it's the cubes in your cocktail or a raft for Arctic seals, floating ice is a basic fact of nature we may take for granted. Floating ice is "such a fundamental fact of the world, it's hard to ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, ...

Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) represent an innovative, nature‐based solution that utilises buoyant platforms to support emergent macrophytes, whose roots directly interact with the water column ...

A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured. Scientists used an advanced laser technique called femtosecond two-photon absorption laser-induced ...

Around 4.4 billion people worldwide still lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Newly designed, thin floating films that harness sunlight to eliminate over 99.99% of bacteria could help change ...

While floating solar -- the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water -- is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...

Climate change is forcing humanity to think of alternative options for pretty much everything, from fuel to housing options. As far as the latter is concerned, floating cities or floating houses are ...
