Summary:
According to the video, a new discovery by MIT researchers could revolutionize our understanding of evaporation and have a major impact on desalination, weather prediction, and even climate change. The traditional understanding of evaporation is that heat from the sun heats up water molecules, causing them to move faster and eventually escape as vapor. However, MIT researchers have discovered a new phenomenon called the photomolecular effect, which shows that light can directly cause water to evaporate without heating it. This process is much more efficient and can potentially evaporate four times more water than heat alone.
This could be revolutionary for desalination.
Researchers SLAM water molecules with LIGHT!
Much better title than the clickbaity one they went with for the video.
Thanks for the news, but also - thanks for posting a proper summary. :)
(So many videos have only the YouTube-compiled summary, which is typically totally off topic.)
Just read the article from MIT. Dont fall for clickbait.
Thank you. This is really huge news and will probably be reposted a bunch with proper non-clickbait titles.
