It could make enough drinking water for a family of four.
Why can’t more rainwater be collected for the long, dry spring and summer when it’s needed?
In one experiment, the Viking landers added water to Martian soil samples. That might have been a very bad idea.
The Black, Caspian, and Aral Seas are the last surviving fragments of a body of water that stretched from Austria to Turkmenistan.
Fire-retardant gels and slimes combine the best attributes of water and foam.
Flashy desalination technology is more costly and cumbersome than many other solutions.
Simple physics makes hauling vast ice chunks thousands of miles fiendishly difficult — but not impossible.
The way that the ancient Megalodon adapted to water temperature has important implications for modern marine creatures.
While Saturn and its moons all appear faint and cloudy to JWST, Saturn's rings are the star of the show. Here's the big scientific reason.
Passing chunks of ice can fertilize ocean waters and play a role in the planet’s carbon cycle.
Once water gets more than about 200 feet deep, building on the sea floor is out of the question.
The divers spend their waking hours either under hundreds of feet of water on the ocean floor or squeezed into an area the size of a restaurant booth.
Salt causes a dehydration-like state that encourages the conversion of the starch in the french fry to fructose.
Despite the enormous mass of the Earth, simply depleting our groundwater is changing our axial tilt. Simple Newtonian physics explains why.
Anyone up for a crisp, blonde ale?
About six million years ago, the Mediterranean was sealed off from the Atlantic, and over centuries it ran dry. One megaflood reversed that.
Most of us only ever see a fraction of a full rainbow: an arc. But optically, a full rainbow makes a complete circle. Physics explains why.
Despite the vast number of planets in the Universe, Earth's specific evolutionary history guarantees that its life forms — including humans — are utterly unique.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a medieval airship!
The solution involves the infamous Navier-Stokes equations, which are so difficult, there is a $1-million prize for solving them.
The 1,200-year-old "Book of Ingenious Devices" contains designs for futuristic inventions like gas masks, water fountains, and digging machines.
Each year, several trillion pounds of microscopic silicon-based skeletons fall down the water column to pile up into siliceous ooze.
Drop sodium in water, and a violent, even explosive reaction will occur. But quantum physics is needed to explain why.
Data from the Zhurong rover suggests the Red Planet was wet more recently than we thought.
The cycles of life all rely on the dynamism of the Earth's crust.
