UM-Bot Posted February 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Engineers have developed a new material that is capable of turning airborne water vapor in to a liquid. Inspired by the Namib desert beetle which survives in its arid environment by condensing water droplets on its own back, a team of researchers led by mechanical engineer Kyoo-Chul Park have succeeded in developing a remarkable new material that is capable of doing much the same thing.

Aitrui Posted February 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2016 No water vapour on Mars. I wonder what potential effects sucking massive amounts water vapour out of the air might have if any countries decide to use this on a really large scale....
