Assignment 32 - Water

Summer may be almost over officially but its still hot! To help us cool off, September's fun photography assignment will be water. Still water, moving water, muddy water. Whatever water you chose to photograph, make the water the subject. Of course you can have other items in the image, but water should be the main focus.

Google Patent for Water-Based Data Center

Google’s latest patent titled “Water-Based Data Center� describes various implementations for deriving power from water while at the same time using water as a method for cooling. One method proposed is a ship-based data center platform capable of being deployed quickly to offer greater flexibility than traditional land based data centers. These Water-Based Data Centers would be powered by natural energy derived from wave motion via tide-powered generators and cooled by “sea-water� cooling units. In addition to being powered by the sea these floating data centers would rely on sea-powered pumps and “seawater-to-freshwater heat exchangers" for cooling.

Nanotechnology may solve water crisis

Washington, September 16 (ANI): A team of Indian scientists have explained how carbon nanotubes could replace conventional materials in water-purification systems, which could be the answer to ensuring a safe supply of drinking water for regions of the world stricken by periodic drought or where water contamination is rife. present, more than one billion people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion people lack access to proper sanitation, nearly all of them in the developing countries.

"We Have Water" on Mars, TEGA Test Confirms

The Phoenix Mars lander finally was successful in delivering a fairly fresh sample of Martian soil to the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) oven on Wednesday and a "bake and sniff" test identified water in the soil sample. "We have water," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for TEGA. "We've seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted."

Hot Water, Hot Earth

Calopteryx notes a New Scientist article on the discovery of "supercritical" water emerging from a vent in the Atlantic Ocean at 407 deg. C (765 deg. F). One of its discoverers actually said, "It's water, but not as we know it"; it's the hottest water ever found on earth. The cause seems to be a huge bubble of magma beneath the ocean floor, 3 km below the sea surface. Meanwhile Nymz shares a journal entry on a hot spot on land: a 2-acre patch in Ventura county, in California, that has heated up to 433 deg. C (812 deg. F). Here geologists blame buried hydrocarbons burning as they get access to air through cracks in the ground. That high temperature was measured a foot below the ground surface.

Nanofilter Cleans Water in Disaster Zones

A nanomaterial coating on silica particles could offer the solution to one of the world's oldest and most destructive health challenges: how to remove bacteria and other pollutants from drinking water. In disasters like the Burmese cyclone, many of the deaths come from the destruction of water supplies. Flying in a few tonnes of food may keep thousands alive temporarily, but many times as much clean water is still usually inadequate.

Phoenix Finds Signs of Once-Liquid Water On Mars

Scientists announced today the first evidence yet for liquid water in geologically recent times on Mars. The discovery, made by the Phoenix lander, comes in the form of two long-sought soil minerals, which researchers say could have formed only in the presence of liquid water. But team members can't say for certain where the water came from--and time is running out to solve the mystery.

Diamant Art Corporation Continues to Research the Development of Compostable and Bottled Water Bio Alternatives to Its

TORONTO, Aug 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- Diamant Corporation (OTCBB: DIAAF) is pleased to announce that governmental legislation, regarding the banning of plastic Water bottles, is being considered by Mayor David Miller of Toronto; the Toronto council may as early as this fall decide on banning bottled water. Toronto's waste reduction manager has indicated that 100,000,000 bottles are consumed in Toronto annually and only 65 % are recycled. Diamant, situated near Toronto, has planned prior to this news to meet with a major manufacture of bottle water in the Greater Toronto area next week to introduce its revolutionary PET degradable additive. The banning of plastic bags, may be passed in Red Bank Borough, New Jersey, following recent landmark metropolises such as Los Angeles.

Quantum Effects Make H2O Weird

Bond lengths are different in heavy, light water molecules Heavy water is not just heavier. Swapping each H in H2O with a D- hydrogen's isotope deuterium - changes water's properties. The deuterium version is mildly poisonous, and its freezing point is 4[degrees] Celsius, instead of 0[degrees]C Such differences reveal that quantum effects, which aren't usually manifest to the naked eye, rule in ordinary water, researchers suggest.

Water on Mars Was Prolonged, Study Shows

Previous studies of Mars indicated that while water was certainly present on the Red Planet in the ancient past, it may have only been on the surface for a short time, present in short catastrophic floods. However, a new study suggests that ancient features on Mars called valley networks were carved by recurrent floods during a long period when the Martian climate may have been much like that of some arid or semiarid regions on Earth. "Our results argue for liquid water being stable at the surface of Mars for prolonged periods in the past," said Charles Barnhart, a graduate student in Earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "Precipitation on Mars lasted a long time–it wasn't a brief interval of massive deluges.

"Water Bears" First Animals to Survive Trip Into Space Naked

Adam Korbitz writes "New Scientist and Science Daily are reporting the results of an intriguing experiment in which scientists launched tardigrades or 'water bears' — tiny invertebrates about one millimeter long — into space onboard the European Space Agency's FOTON-M3 spacecraft. After 10 days in the vacuum of space, the satellite returned to Earth and the tardigrades were recovered. The tardigrades survived the vacuum just fine, but exposure to the Sun's ultraviolet radiation proved deadly for most of the water bears. However, some did survive. The tardigrades are the first animals to have survived such an experiment, a feat previously achieved only by lichens and bacteria."
