A UT Austin team built a jacket that pulls water from air

A team of engineers at the University of Texas at Austin, led by Guihua Yu, has created a jacket capable of extracting drinking water from the air, the university announced June 11. The fabric, detailed June 10 in *Science Advances*, uses a specialized transport system of porous fibers to capture moisture while maintaining breathability. The innovation could enable wearable water harvesting for outdoor workers or those in arid environments.
