Researchers develop a solar-powered aerogel that collects freshwater from air, aiding water-scarce regions.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed an advanced aerogel that can absorb up to 5.5 times its weight in moisture from the air, even in low humidity conditions. The aerogel is integrated into a solar-driven generator that collects and releases freshwater without needing external energy. This technology could significantly aid water-scarce regions and reduce global freshwater scarcity.
