That’s the sound of Jeremy Cho’s atmospheric water harvesting device extracting humidity from the air to make usable water in Da Kine Lab at UNLV. The device, in its smaller state, looks like a box.

Engineers from Australia and China have invented 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 ...

Across some of the planet’s driest regions, engineers are racing to turn humidity into a reliable tap, using materials that ...

(CNN) — 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 ...

Clean, safe water is a limited resource and access to it depends on local bodies of water. But even dry regions have some water vapor in the air. To harvest small amounts of humidity, researchers ...

The air contains water. We call it humidity. Even in the desert, there is water in the air. Scientists have been working on ...

How “green” protein-based nanowires are grown to create neuromorphic devices. How these electrically and chemically biocompatible nanowires are used as sensors. How these bio-wires also are used to ...

The innovation relies on carefully engineered polymer coatings that maintain a continuous flow of ions, enabling stable ...

Sure, we all complain about the humidity on a sweltering summer day. But it turns out that same humidity could be a source of clean, pollution-free energy, a new study shows. "Air humidity is a vast, ...

Dr Derek Hao, from RMIT University, holds the team’s spongy wood-based composite material that can absorb water from the atmosphere. Engineers from Australia and China have invented a sponge-like ...
