Device harvests drinking water from desert air

A new "bubble wrap" device has successfully extracted drinkable water from the air in Death Valley, potentially offering a solution to global water scarcity. The device, made of a hydrogel material, captured over 50 milliliters of water daily in the arid environment. This innovative technology uses no power source and could provide clean water to the 4.5 billion people lacking consistent access. The technology, developed by MIT engineers, utilizes a bubble-wrap design to maximize water collection. The device is designed for use in water-stressed regions and is currently being optimized for scalability and accessibility.
