Cloud seeding is a weather technique used to get more precipitation out of existing clouds. How do clouds form? To explain ...

On a much smaller scale, the same process occurs when water droplets move through the air, causing tiny sparks to form as electrons jump between them.

Quite ironically, it might be water itself – or to be more precise, very small water droplets – that allowed early biomolecules to form. Why microdroplets?

Answer: Clouds form when sufficiently moist air is cooled to the dew point temperature of the air or below, so that either liquid water droplets form on cloud condensation nuclei, or in the case ...

Water droplets form when water vapor interacts with tiny solid particles in the atmosphere, like dust, ash or salt from the ocean. According to the study, microplastics can now be added to that list.

Water droplets ‘hold secret ingredient behind origins of life’, scientists say Droplets of pure water allow ‘primordial molecules’ to form essential building blocks for emergence of life ...

One issue slowing down current water harvesting tech is that once water droplets form on a surface, they have nowhere to go. They accumulate on the surface, slowing down the formation of new droplets.

In our recent study, my colleagues and I found a simpler and more general solution to the water paradox. Quite ironically, it might be water itself – or to be more precise, very small water droplets – ...

The more common measure of hydrophobicity is what’s called the contact angle, which is given by how sharp a curve water droplets form on the surface.

For condensation to form, water vapor is either cooled to its dew point – which is the temperature at which water in the air condenses to create water droplets.

Life may not have begun with a dramatic lightning strike into the ocean but from many smaller "microlightning" exchanges among water droplets from crashing waterfalls or breaking waves.

Raw amino acids — something that meteorites delivered to early Earth daily — can react and latch together to form peptides, the building blocks of proteins and, eventually, life. Puzzlingly, the ...
