MIT engineers have created a way to pull clean drinking water from air far faster than current atmospheric water-harvesting systems.

University of Pennsylvania researchers accidentally stumbled onto a novel material that can pull water from the air without requiring external energy. While testing a mix of hydrophilic nanopores and ...

What if we could pull drinkable water from the air around us? A research collaboration between engineers from Australia and China has accomplished just that. A device that looks like a sponge captures ...

The invention has the potential to help the most in dry regions and in areas with inadequate water infrastructure.

MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) -- California's latest plan to increase the state's water supply focuses on conservation, recycling wastewater, producing new water through desalination and capturing storm water ...

A sponge-like device that captures water from thin air and then releases it in a cup using the sun's energy, even in low humidity where other technologies such as fog harvesting and radiative cooling ...

Refined wood, salt, sunlight, and artificial intelligence might soon deliver clean drinking water from thin air—even in the driest regions of the world. That’s the promise behind a new invention ...

The arid desert landscape of Death Valley is not the obvious place to find water. Yet it’s here, in one of the planet’s hottest and driest places, that Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers ...
