The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), revolutionary porous materials capable of harvesting water from desert air, capturing CO2, and removing toxins from water, with potential applications in energy, environment, and industry.
MIT engineers developed a black 'bubble wrap' hydrogel-based atmospheric water harvester that can extract over 50 milliliters of safe drinking water per day in extreme conditions like Death Valley, offering a scalable solution to address global water scarcity, especially in arid regions.
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.
