Contrary to what we all learned in elementary school science class, it turns out that heat may not be necessary to make water evaporate. Scientists at MIT have made the surprising discovery that light alone can evaporate water, and is even more efficient at it than heat. The finding could improve…
I think the author’s theory about the photo molecular effect are right!
Basically they say that the photons cleave water molecules from the surface of the hydrogels.
At first i was not convinced but then i read the abstract of the journal article (its not on scihub yet) and it changed my mind, the news article skipped over a few points:
