Researchers in South Korea have achieved a groundbreaking feat with the development of an eco-friendly portable moisture-harvesting system.
Inspired by plant and animal mechanisms, this portable system, which can easily fit in a backpack, is capable of collecting, purifying, and transforming atmospheric moisture into clean drinking water.
“This technology is a meaningful advancement in that it enables the production of drinking water in situations where water is scarce,” said Dr. Hyuneui Lim, Director of the Nature-Inspired Research Center at KIMM, who led the study.
This innovative system is expected to have wide-ranging applications, including in military operations, camping, and survival water production in remote and mountainous areas, as mentioned in the press release.
