Imagine producing clean drinking water straight from the air, even in some of the driest places on Earth. That vision is becoming a reality thanks to a groundbreaking invention developed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
Professor Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, has helped create a machine capable of generating up to 1,000 litres of clean water every day by extracting moisture directly from the atmosphere. The innovation is being developed through his company, Atoco, and could offer a lifeline to millions of people facing water shortages.
