Researchers at MIT have developed a groundbreaking technology for producing clean water from air (Atmospheric Water Harvesting) using ultrasonic waves to shake water molecules free from absorbent materials within minutes — replacing conventional methods that require high heat and hours of processing time.
This new technique is 45 times faster, uses significantly less energy, and can operate all day using only a small solar panel.
The system is fully automated and can harvest water multiple times per day, giving it strong potential for use in households and in arid regions where water scarcity is a critical issue.
Researchers believe this innovation could play a key role in strengthening future water security as many countries face intensifying water crises.
