TL;DR Summary

MIT researchers have developed a high-tech 'bubble wrap' that can extract safe drinking water from air, even in extremely dry environments like Death Valley, using a hydrogel-based system that absorbs water vapor at night and condenses it during the day, with minimal energy and safe for drinking due to reduced lithium salt leakage.
