Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature. That is why Pablo Debenedetti and collaborators were surprised to find a highly simplified model molecule that behaves in much the same way as water, a discovery that upends long-held beliefs about what makes water so special. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

It costs $30 per gallon to get water to U.S. soldiers in arid areas, so having a water extraction plant would be a big help. A small company has figured out how to extract water from the air, even at humidity levels as low as 14%, for 30 cents per gallon. DARPA is very interested. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago

Mars was wet in its early history, but today it appears bone dry other than ice below the surface and at the poles. Astronomers have long wondered where all the water went. The water might have been blown into space long ago by strong gusts of solar winds, new satellite observations suggest. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago
