Tennessee has a problem — two-thirds of our rivers and waterways are unmonitored, leaving us blind to sudden changes in water ...

One of the major problems faced by most countries today is water scarcity. This scarcity is mainly due to the wastage of water. There is an urgent need to control water wastage to protect the ...

Device uses ultrasonic waves to harvest water 45x faster – Credit: Ikra Iftekhar / MIT (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0) Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, ...

Lake Erie's water levels have dropped significantly since reaching a record high in April 2020. The decline is attributed to lower precipitation, increased evaporation and natural seasonal cycles. The ...

Water reuse is a vital solution to growing water insecurity—offering a reliable, climate-resilient supply for cities and industries facing increasing stress on traditional water sources. While the ...

MIT researchers have found a way to use the mechanical vibrations of sound waves to shake water molecules free from a storage medium. The breakthrough significantly speeds up the process of harvesting ...

MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting hours for heat to evaporate the trapped water, the ...

MIT engineers design an ultrasonic system to “shake” water out of an atmospheric water harvester. The design (two prototypes shown in photo) can recover captured water in minutes rather than hours.

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...
