A strange black 'bubble wrap' could help solve one of the world's most urgent problems: access to clean drinking water. As ...

A scientist in Turkey has simulated eight PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting systems and compared their performances. They were all considered to operate with R1233zd(E), R1234yf, and ...

MIT engineers have created an atmospheric water harvester that can generate fresh water in any location, including extreme ...

Hot air holds more moisture than cold air. That simple truth, while familiar to anyone who’s used a blow dryer or walked ...

Rain comes when water molecules in the atmosphere clump together to form ice crystals or water droplets that are heavy enough to fall to the ground. But what causes that clumping to happen?

How atmospheric rivers cause flooding. Atmospheric rivers move huge amounts of water through the air above us—and dump rain and snow on land.

In recent years, "atmospheric river" has become used much more frequently in scientific papers and in media coverage. According to experts who study climate and weather, a few reasons may explain why.

A new study shows that rising ‘atmospheric thirst’ is responsible for about 40% of the increase in drought severity over the ...

Atmospheric rivers out West also tend to dump their heaviest rain over the open water in the Pacific, because the storms they’re associated with typically peak in strength there. That’s not ...
