A joint team of researchers have demonstrated successful atmospheric water harvesting using ambient sunlight in the Death Valley desert, according to a press release from the Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH). The study, published in the journal Nature Water, was led by Woochul Song from the Division of Environmental Science & Engineering POSTECH and Omar M. Yaghi, Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Harvesting atmospheric water presents challenges, particularly in regions with humidity less than 70%, as it necessitates a substantial amount of energy to condense the vapor, rendering it an ineffective solution.
