Developing — prototypes scaling toward deployment
Why it matters
They can provide clean water independent of local infrastructure, aiding drought-hit and remote regions and disaster response.
Where it stands
Devices exist from household to community scale; energy efficiency and yield in dry climates are the main challenges.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Living Systems center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at atmospheric water generator: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
