Engineers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have utilized passive vapor-condensation way to convert water vapor in the air into usable form. This approach uses a hydrogel membrane, inspired by frog skin and plant cuticles, to facilitate the transport of water vapors in the air into a liquid desiccant for storage. Researchers have demonstrated the water capture even though the humidity dipped to 10%.
