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 ...

Using ultrasound, MIT has created a powerful technique to extract and transform moisture in the air into clean water. MIT engineers designed an ultrasonic system to “shake” water out of an atmospheric ...

MIT engineers have developed a new, rapid method for extracting clean drinking water from sponge-like atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) materials. Standard AWH systems rely on sorbents — materials ...

Researchers designed 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.

On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

The film explores the origins of sound through three primary sources: vibrating columns of air, vibrating surfaces, and vibrating strings. It demonstrates how sound is produced by examining a tuning ...

Energy Fields examines the science of vibration, sound and kinetic energy detection through art. Energy Fields examines approaches to vibration, sound, and kinetic energy shared by artists and ...
