Moisture problems show up everywhere in HVAC systems. Knowing how humidity behaves in air can make troubleshooting ...

In a large part of the United States, winter months bring about bitterly cold temperatures. That cold air carries less moisture than warm air, and when that cold air is heated by your furnace (which ...

A printable polymer that traps water molecules flips humidity from a performance-killer into a performance-booster for motion ...

There are various ways to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The amount of moisture a given parcel of air can hold is dependent on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures mean ...

Industry leaders realized hundreds of years ago that their processes and machines operate best when the indoor relative humidity is maintained at an optimum level for their process. They found it was ...

Across much of the world, hotter days are no longer arriving alone. The air itself is changing, sometimes turning from dry oven to steam bath, other times drying out even as thermometers climb. As ...

New research finds indoor relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent is associated with relatively lower rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths, while indoor conditions outside this range are ...

Most small-scale energy harvesters that run on friction and static charge have a well-known enemy: moisture. As humidity ...

We know proper indoor ventilation is key to reducing the spread of Covid-19. Now, a study by MIT researchers finds that indoor relative humidity may also influence transmission of the virus. Relative ...
