Chemists Find Cheapest Way To Purify Waste Water

There is a different commercial purification system available in the market which was expensive as well as the waste of money, electricity etc. So the chemists from Australian national university developed a unique purification system to treat wastewater by using natural sunlight by using natural sunlight.

A Glass Of Water Contains Millions Of Good Bacteria

These bacteria can aid in purifying the water we gulp in every day. An emerging research reveals that a glass of water contains 10 million bacteria. You definitely read that right but there is no reason to panic as these are the "good" ones.

Mathematical Formula Explains Why Ice Is Slippery

A new mathematical model for the frictional shear stress of ice explains why ice is slippery. It is still a scientific mystery why ice, with it being a solid material, is slippery.

Drink water only when you're thirsty, experts say

Drinking water, particularly when you are doing extreme physical activities, could kill you! Drinking too much water, especially during exercise, could kill you! A group of 17 international experts worked together to design a new set of guidelines that provide details on how to drink water in the safest way and avoid getting into overboard.

A Wintry Affair—How Oregon's Lost Lake Disappears

The volcanic roots of Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest become evident each year when the mysterious Lost Lake vanishes. Near the Hoodoo Ski Area, the water of Lost Lake escapes through a hole on the north shore like water down a drain.

Life Underneath Antarctica May One Day Reveal Life On Colder Planets

Though it may be hard to imagine life abounding in the frigid tundra that is Earth’s Antarctica, that doesn’t mean that life cannot exist there. Recent studies looking into the develop and sustainability of life in the frozen wasteland has developed promising results in showing that life may too exist on other exoplanets or exomoons further out in space that may share a similarly cold surface. But in a new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications, researchers with the University of Tennessee Knoxville have discovered a series of underground lakes that could harbor life—pointing ever-more towards the possibility of life far off from what humans can withstand.

Curiosity Finds Compelling Evidence of Liquid Water Near Martian Surface

NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars has detected perchlorate compounds that are able to lower the freezing point of water, allowing it to remain in liquid form near the surface. Based on the data collected from the rover, researchers believe that liquid salt water may actually exist close to the surface.

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria—Could Swimming This Spring Break Land You In the Hospital?

Using coastal waters can often be quite a finicky endeavor. Working your plans around algal blooms, red tides and even the occasional sewage mishap, can often be a pretty unpleasant mess. But it turns out that swimmers and surfers may have more to fear than getting a little dirty at the beach. Aside from Giardia, a parasite that is often passed in coastal waters, it turns out that recreational swimmers at local beaches may also be at a significantly higher risk of transmitting deadly antibiotic resistant bacteria—landing them in the hospital or worse.

Nanoscale Carbon Called Graphene Could Solve Water Scarcity

Freshwater from Nanoscale Carbon could soon be a reality. Carbon is arguably one of the greatest elements known to man. Not only is it the foundation of all organic molecules, and therefore life, but it also fueled the Industrial Revolution and its crystals are how we propose marriage.

‘Water Man of India’ Takes Prize for Bringing Hope to A Dry Future

While the Nobel Peace Prize may applaud many great acts of human kindness and perseverance, not every year’s winners are designated as those that feed the masses or even bring essential components of life, such as water, to those in need. In order to applaud these efforts, the Stockholm Water Prize was created as the unofficial “Nobel Prize for water”, and each year it recognizes those fighting in the most impoverished nations for potable water to be brought to masses. This year’s laureate, however, is one for the record books as he alone has brought water to 1,000 villages across northern India.
