Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. The gel’s thermoreactive nature, meanwhile, is key for releasing the stored water. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air.
