UC Berkeley has created a harvesting box that can extract water from the air in places like the Mojave Desert, providing a solution to the global water crisis. The box, powered by sunlight, uses metal-organic frameworks to pull moisture from the air, producing over a gallon of drinkable water per day. Northwestern University researchers have edited genes in microbes to create biosensors that can detect toxins in water through glowing reactions. Tufts University researchers developed a simple chlorine treatment device for community water sources that operates without electricity. MIT repurposed desalination technology to create shock electrodialysis for removing heavy metals like lead from water.
