Chemist Omar Yaghi uses Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)—molecular "sponges" with massive internal surface areas ( A single gram of a tuned MOF can have a surface area equivalent to a football field) to harvest clean drinking water directly from desert air. Scaled up they can produce 1,000 liters a day. #environment #chemistry #science #engineering #water #climate
