Light Can Cause Water to Evaporate Without Heat, MIT Researchers Find
Broke On: Monday, 20 November 2023Researchers at MIT have discovered that light can directly cause water to evaporate without the need for heat. This phenomenon was observed in experiments where water was held in a hydrogel material and exposed to visible light. The researchers found that water molecules escape in bursts, a process that differs from heat-driven evaporation. This discovery could potentially play a significant role in the formation and evolution of fog and clouds, and may have implications for improving the accuracy of climate change modeling.
