University of Texas engineers develop jacket that harvests drinking water from air
By
Rob Thubron
Summary
Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin are developing textile fibers for atmospheric water harvesting, creating a jacket that can collect moisture from the air and convert it into drinking water. This real-world innovation draws inspiration from the fictional stillsuit in the Dune universe, offering a practical application for water-scarce environments.
