New nanomaterial pulls drinking water straight out of thin air
In a world where billions lack clean water, scientists have found a way to pull it from thin air.
An international team of researchers led by Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov and Professor Rakesh Joshi has developed a groundbreaking nanomaterial capable of harvesting clean drinking water from vapors in the atmosphere with unprecedented efficiency.
Light as a feather and supercharged with water-absorbing power, the material can soak up more than three times its weight in water, offering a scalable, low-energy solution to one of the planet’s most pressing challenges.
