Water can be extracted from the atmosphere via adsorption-evaporation or dewing, but these methods require prohibitively high energy use. Here, the authors report a forty-five-fold increase in energy efficiency via ultrasonic extraction, making atmospheric water harvesting technology economically feasible for large-scale adoption.

Technologien zur Gewinnung von #Wasser aus der Luft könnten eine wichtige Lösung für das globale #Trinkwasserproblem bieten. Insbesondere in tropischen Regionen könnten Millionen Menschen von atmosphärischer #Wassergewinnung profitieren, indem feuchte Luft genutzt wird, um Wasser zu extrahieren. Diese Methode ist besonders in feuchten #Klimazonen vielversprechend, allerdings weniger effektiv in trockeneren Gebieten.
