Does light cause evaporation of water?
Copilot
Yes, light can indeed cause the evaporation of water, even without the need for heat. This surprising finding was made by a team of researchers at MIT12.

Under certain conditions, at the interface where water meets air, light can directly bring about evaporation without the need for heat, and it actually does so even more efficiently than heat12. This phenomenon, known as the “photomolecular effect,” could have a wide range of significant implications. It could help explain mysterious measurements over the years of how sunlight affects clouds, and therefore affect calculations of the effects of climate change on cloud cover and precipitation2. It could also lead to new ways of designing industrial processes such as solar-powered desalination or drying of materials2.
