This is a schematic representation of the formation process through evaporation-driven oriented assembly. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the May 8, 2015, issue of Science ...

But as the researchers note, the bigger picture is that it could slow down and harness the evaporation process, saving water and producing power at the same time.

Making sure. Because the discovery of light-based evaporation was so striking, the MIT researchers carried out 14 different verification experiments that all supported the finding.

"Evaporation turns out to be a process driven by very small temperature differences. Often, only ten-thousandth parts of kelvin are enough to make it happen!," says Dr Eng. Daniel Jakubczyk (IP PAS).
