Scientists unveil breakthrough device that pulls drinking water from thin air: 'Deployed in real-world applications'

What if we could pull drinkable water from the air around us? A research collaboration between engineers from Australia and China has accomplished just that.  A device that looks like a sponge captures ambient water from the air and, using solar power, can deposit the water for drinking. The device modifies the natural features of balsa wood to be able to pull water from the environment.  According to TechXplore, the technology functioned from 3…
