A new study from the University of Texas reveals scientists can pull clean drinking water from thin air. By using food scraps, the researchers can create sorbents that absorb water in the air, and ...

They publishe their findings in Advanced Functional Materials ("Biomass-Derived Hydro-Sponge for Ultra-Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting ... a material that occupies a middle ground between a ...

which would in turn increase its harvesting capacity and reduce material corrosion. The system is described in the study Photovoltaic panel cooling by atmospheric water sorption–evaporation ...

A sponge-like gel made from food scraps and other natural materials can draw moisture from air even in dry conditions. The ...
