A team of international researchers discovered a new hydrogel material that can increase water absorption from dry desert air, which could reduce water scarcity in arid regions. With global ...

Prof Omar Yaghi, who won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has developed a technology to extract 1,000 litres of water daily from dry air. This breakthrough aligns with PM Modi’s 2020 suggestion of ...

A researcher from Turkey’s Tarsus University has investigated eight different configurations of PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems. AWH systems extract water vapor from the ...

Associate Professor TAN Swee Ching (left), Mr QU Hao (right) and their team from the National University of Singapore have developed a novel aerogel (black sponge-like material) that is highly ...

UC Berkeley researchers have designed an extreme-weather proven, hand-held device that can extract and convert water molecules from the air into drinkable water using only ambient sunlight as its ...

The world is on the brink of a freshwater crisis. Estimations indicate that by 2025, half of the world's population may reside in areas facing water scarcity. In response to this challenge, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Earth’s atmosphere holds over 13,000 cubic kilometers of water vapor, yet converting this vast resource into drinkable water remains an engineering challenge. One in three people ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over half the global population, accessing clean drinking water remains an enduring challenge. With climate change and development pressures exacerbating water scarcity ...

The industry’s moonshot goal is to scale up production to 1 billion cubic meters, or 264 billion gallons, of water every year, according to an ASU researcher. Atmospheric water harvesting is stirring ...

Researchers have developed a promising new solar-powered atmospheric water harvesting technology that could help provide enough drinking water for people to survive in difficult, dryland areas: They ...
