Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas access clean drinking water. They developed a low-cost gel film (凝

29、胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate. Combining two simple ingredients, cellulose and konjac gum, the gel is inexpensive to produce. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity, one ki

30、logram of gel can collect up to13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages. Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity

31、. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air are typically energy-intensive and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a vast improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5. 87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this

32、 amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user. “This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering.

33、“This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices at home that they can easily operate.”“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the papers lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “Its straightforward enough th

38、ed Innovareef to accelerate the recovery of the coral reef ecosystem. Innovareef corals are coated with calcium and phosphate nutrients that corals need to thrive and consist of flat surfaces. The reefs holes serve as habitats and hiding places for many sea animals. Artificial reefs also make use of

39、 hydrodynamics technology to enhance their resistance to tidal forces and ensure that they stay in place. Finally, the pH (level of acidity) of the selected type of cement used for the reefs is close to that of seawater, and the design concept is that of Lego, easily assembled (组装) and disassembled

40、blocks that are easy to transport and fix. “The Innovareef is not too large. Its light-weighted and can be carried by anyone thus saving transportation costs. You can simply put it at any desired location in the sea and then dive down to put all the units together to complete the Innovareef. Not eve

41、n five minutes afterward, fish and several ocean creatures start to come in to survey and make it their new habitat, leading to biodiversity around the Innovareef. More importantly, the research data indicates that the settlement and growth rates of planula on the Innovareef are better than those on

42、 other artificial reefs,” said Associate Professor Dr. Nantarika Chansue at Chulalongkorn University. Innovareef is the hope for the effective recovery of natural coral reefs. Now the team is focused on adding more details to the reefs to adapt to more species so that the new structures look more li
