A supercharged dishwasher using heated steam could kill bacteria in 25 seconds

The researchers believe that more dishes could be washed at once with a higher number of nozzles in the dishwasher that uses superheated steam. Although the time required to get rid of the heat-resistant bacteria would be relatively higher, it surely wouldn't take as long as conventional dishwashers.

Scientists Find a Simple Way to Produce Hydrogen From Water at Room Temperature

In the new research, scientists describe a relatively simple method involving aluminum nanoparticles that are able to strip the oxygen from water molecules and leave hydrogen gas.

Capital raise puts Envirosuite digital water on map

A Foot of Sea Level Rise From Greenland's Melting Ice May Already Be Locked in

If the worst year in the past two decades were to become representative of Greenland's water cycle, the commitment of ice loss could cause sea levels to creep up by around 78.2 centimeters (over 2.5 ft).

Heatwave in China is the most severe ever recorded in the world

People in large parts of China have been experiencing two months of extreme heat. Hundreds of places have reported temperatures of more than 40°C (104°F), and many records have been broken. Subway stations have set up rest areas where people can recover from the heat.
