Abstract

The article focuses on a research published in "Nature Communications," which described the use of evaporation to power an engine. Cited are some systems that may be powered by evaporation-driven engines such as power robotic systems, sensors, devices and machinery functioning in a natural environment. Also noted are challenges associated with scaling up mechanical force to create macroscopic devices such as slow rate of relative humidity change.
