These Janus crystals are designed to mimic the water-collecting capabilities of desert beetles and lizards, which possess surface structures that efficiently capture moisture from the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crystals, named after the two-faced Roman god Janus, feature hydrophilic (water-attracting) regions that capture moisture and hydrophobic (water-repelling) regions that channel the collected water into a receptacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tempImage8nazzH.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11401\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Credit: <\/em>NYU Abu Dhabi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The earth\u2019s atmosphere contains an abundance of untapped fresh water, but we desperately need materials that can efficiently capture and collect this humidity and condense it into potable water,&#8221; Naumov, who also serves as the director of the\u00a0NYUAD Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM) and leads the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nyuad.nyu.edu\/en\/research\/faculty-labs-and-projects\/smart-materials-lab-sml.html\">Smart Materials Lab (SML)<\/a>\u00a0at NYUAD, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/nyuad.nyu.edu\/en\/news\/latest-news\/science-and-technology\/2024\/november\/nyuad-researchers-develop-water-harvesting-crystals.html\" title=\"\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Utilizing three different organic compounds, the researchers crafted elastic organic crystals and tested their interactions with airborne water. The result was the formation of Janus crystals capable of the highest-to-date water collection efficiency. Their unique structure allows for real-time monitoring of fog droplet condensation using light, which adds to their functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike energy-intensive desalination processes, Janus crystals operate under ambient conditions and require no energy input, making them an accessible and sustainable option for regions with limited resources. This efficient water-harvesting process combines both water-collection and water-delivery functions directly on the crystal surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The crystals developed by our team not only capitalize on the mechanical compliance and optical transparency of organic crystals, but also pave the way for the design of active, self-sensing and efficient surface-active harvesters which, when used at a larger scale, can help us combat water scarcity at a societal level,&#8221; Naumov added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team&#8217;s findings, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/10.1021\/jacs.4c11689\" title=\"\">published<\/a> in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, holds immense potential in providing a sustainable solution to water scarcity, harnessing the unexplored reservoir of atmospheric humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the planet faces growing water scarcity issues, innovations like the Janus crystals could play a crucial role in ensuring access to clean water across the globe, particularly in regions where traditional water sources are diminishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of researchers from Jilin University and NYU Abu Dhabi has developed a groundbreaking crystalline material that could revolutionize how we collect water from the atmosphere, a solution especially vital for arid regions facing water scarcity.
