'Coffee-Ring Effect' Applied to Provide Fast, Cost-Effective Analysis of Tap Water

“What is in your water?” has become a progressively anxious question for many people in the U.S. and other regions of the world. An answer for that is neither easy nor cheap. Recently, researchers are reporting that they are applying the familiar “coffee-ring effect” to test multiple components in one drop of water easily, quickly and inexpensively. And in the future, the public could use the technique to analyze the tap water they are using.

Recent Study Finds that Large Amounts of Carbon Dioxide Remain in Surface Waters

If there is anywhere for carbon dioxide to disappear in large quantities from the atmosphere, it is into the Earth's oceans. There, huge populations of plankton can soak up carbon dioxide from surface waters and gobble it up as a part of photosynthesis, generating energy for their livelihood.
