The rubbery material is made from hydrogel and can swell to absorb water vapour even in desert-like conditions, where there is only 30 per cent relative humidity in the air. Once absorbed by the gel, the water could be heated, condensed and collected as ultrapure water. The MIT researchers were able to achieve “record-breaking” vapour absorption by infusing the hydrogel with larger amounts of lithium chloride — a type of salt that is known to be a powerful desiccant.
