Nobel Laureate Develops Solar-Powered Machine Extracting Water from Air

Professor Omar Yaghi, a 2025 Nobel Prize-winning chemist, has developed a solar-powered machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters of clean drinking water daily from air, even in low humidity. Using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) created through reticular chemistry, the device operates off-grid without electricity. This innovation addresses global water scarcity, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2020 vision of harvesting water from air via advanced technology, offering hope to water-stressed regions worldwide.
