‘Reimagining matter’: Nobel laureate invents machine that harvests water from dry air
SMRTR summary
Nobel Prize-winning chemist Omar Yaghi invented a revolutionary water-harvesting machine that extracts moisture from dry air using molecularly engineered materials, producing up to 1,000 liters of clean water daily without electricity or centralized infrastructure. The shipping container-sized units offer hope for vulnerable Caribbean islands and drought-stricken communities that face water insecurity, providing a sustainable alternative to costly desalination while operating independently during hurricanes and natural disasters.
