In desert trials, UC Berkeley scientists demonstrated that their next-generation water harvester can collect drinkable water from desert air each day/night cycle, using a MOF that absorbs water ...

The MOF material is made up of metal- and carbon-based organic molecules, and is designed to have many tiny pockets of air between the ... Some similar water-harvesting devices already exist.

The ongoing drought has some people looking towards alternative solutions, such as sucking water out of the very air itself. In particular, a company called Tsunami Products has been making waves ...

Atmospheric water harvesting ... vapor from the air instead of liquid water. “We work with a specific type of hygroscopic material called a metal organic framework (MOF),” explained Sameer ...

Parachutes have a large surface area so they create a lot of air resistance. This helps to slow people down as they fall to the earth. Friction is a force that slows objects down and it can occur ...

“Therefore, it can be beneficial for both nighttime water harvesting and daytime solar cell efficiency enhancement.” The scientists found that an ambient temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and ...
