On the top floor of the University of Texas at Austin’s engineering building, students occasionally scribble notes as they quietly conduct experiments amid rows of cabinets packed with neatly labeled ...

Researchers have created a superabsorbent hydrogel that can pull moisture from the air in greater quantities than previously reported materials, even in desert conditions. The new material opens the ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new material that can pull moisture directly from the air, even in arid climates. The material can even turn this ...

A shortage of drinking water is a key problem in many parts of the world, and it’s a cruel irony that huge amounts are floating around in the air, inaccessible. Researchers at the University of Texas ...

Engineers synthesized a superabsorbent material that can soak up a record amount of moisture from the air, even in desert-like conditions. MIT engineers have synthesized a superabsorbent material that ...
