Rigorous Tests Find No Evidence That Visible Light Speeds Water Evaporation

A new set of careful experiments is challenging a widely repeated claim in climate and clean-energy discussions: that visible light directly accelerates water evaporation. The findings, reported in Phys.org coverage of the underlying research, suggest the effect is far weaker than many earlier studies implied and may disappear under more controlled conditions. The result could force a reassessment of how researchers interpret light-driven evaporation in environmental and energy applications.
