The rubbery material is made from hydrogel and can swell to absorb water vapour even in desert-like conditions, where there is only 30 per cent relative humidity in the air. This new material can be developed at speed and scale, and could potentially be used as a source of drinking water in very dry climates. Díaz-Marin said.
