Cornell University researchers have created the world's first synthetic tree. So far, it's a very small 'tree' which stands in a palm-sized piece of hydrogel. This 'tree simulates the process of ...

Forest transpiration is a primary component of water- and energy-balance studies as a mechanism for mass and energy transfer. During the winter months, however, there is a period of transpiration ...

Everyone knows that trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide out of the air. Now, plant leaves are tackling global warming in another way — by serving as models for a technology that ...

Our approach is predicated on the knowledge that precipitation δ 2 H and δ 18 O values (see Methods for definitions) co-vary along a regression line with a δ 2 H/δ 18 O slope of eight (this is the ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Evapotranspiration is responsible for 15% of our atmosphere's water vapor. Evapotranspiration is the combination of evaporation and transpiration. Both processes release water ...

A research team successfully developed a solar-powered artificial plant device and rapidly purified soil contaminated with radioactive cesium. This device, which mimics plant transpiration, can ...

The exact science of tree sap transport has puzzled plant physiologists for many years. Sap's migration throughout tree trunks and branches is linked heavily to transpiration, the movement and ...

SCIENTISTS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY have created a "synthetic tree" microfluidic device that mimics transpiration, the process by which a plant pulls water through its roots and up to its leaves. In ...

As temperatures rise in July and August, transpiration from plants might add to the humidity. One plant that gets more blame than others is corn, said Dan Quinn, assistant professor of agronomy and ...
