Visible light does not speed up water evaporation, rigorous experiments suggest
In recent experiments involving hydrogels and water droplets, researchers have proposed that exposure to visible light could make water evaporate faster without heating it.
AI Summary
Recent experiments with hydrogels and water droplets examined a claim that visible light might accelerate water evaporation without raising temperature. The researchers found no direct evidence that light influences water itself, indicating the proposed effect remains unsubstantiated.
