Revolutionary Hydrogel Extracts Pure Water from Desert Air
TL;DR Summary
MIT researchers have developed a new hydrogel material infused with lithium chloride that can absorb an unprecedented amount of water from even the driest desert air, making it a potential solution for water scarcity in arid regions. The material can retain its three-dimensional structure and convert the absorbed water into ultrapure, potable water.
