Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a wearable jacket that pulls clean drinking water from the air using moisture-absorbing fabric and solar heating. The jacket produces up to 900 ml of water daily, and field tests yielded 1.3 liters per day. The technology could help hikers, emergency responders, and people in water-stressed regions where traditional water systems don't exist.
