The Surprising Power of Light: Evaporating Water Without Heat

Scientists at MIT have discovered that light can cause water to evaporate faster than heat alone. In their experiments with water in hydrogels, they observed that light can make water evaporate up to three times faster than the theoretical limit based on heat alone. This surprising finding challenges the conventional understanding of water evaporation and opens up new possibilities for harnessing light energy in various applications.
