Zero Mass Water showed us last year that its Source Hydropanel could pull water out of thin air. And now it's reducing the size of those panels -- kindling hope that one day we'll have an artisanal ...

As the atmospheric water harvesting industry looks to scale up, it faces challenges, opportunities and ethical conundrums.

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 ...

MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting hours for heat to evaporate the trapped water, the ...

Across some of the planet’s driest regions, engineers are racing to turn humidity into a reliable tap, using materials that behave like an “air sponge” to soak up vapor and squeeze out clean water.

“This technology not only advances the science of cool roof coatings but also opens the door to sustainable, low-cost and decentralized sources of fresh water – a critical need in the face of climate ...

MIT researchers have found a way to use the mechanical vibrations of sound waves to shake water molecules free from a storage medium. The breakthrough significantly speeds up the process of harvesting ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. 3D printers have come a long way since the days of producing ...

Watergen Technology The startup, founded in 2010 by Michael Mirilashvili, MD, developed a technology that pulls moisture from air, purifies it, and turns it into clean drinkable mineral water, ...

One number buzzed among the crowd gathered at a recent conference in Tempe: 1 billion cubic meters of water per year. In more familiar terms, that’s 264 billion gallons, the size of 400,000 ...
