Interesting re solar cooling

Interesting article with possible application to solar cooling. Light (not heat) significantly increases evaporation.

An efficient solar cooling system would be a big deal.

In a surprising finding, light can make water evaporate without heat

At the interface of water and air, light can, in certain conditions, bring about evaporation without the need for heat, according to an MIT study.

Interesting!

"The researchers found that the effect varied with color and peaked at a particular wavelength of green light."

I have experimented with a few solar desalinators inside glass terrariums.

Maybe something like that is going on with the Bandera Volcano Ice Cave, also known as Zuni Ice Cave. A video taken this summer showed it frozen, even though it is located in NM.
