Researchers from the University of Southampton have demonstrated how a pioneering ultrasonic device can significantly improve the cleaning of medical instruments and reduce contamination and risk of ...

A new study has unveiled a new method for wirelessly powering implantable medical devices (IMDs) using a pre-charged capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT). Unlike traditional systems ...

Feeling thirsty? Why not tap into the air? Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking ...

MIT engineers have developed a new, rapid method for extracting clean drinking water from sponge-like atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) materials. Standard AWH systems rely on sorbents — materials ...

MIT engineers design an ultrasonic system to “shake” water out of an atmospheric water harvester. The design (two prototypes shown in photo) can recover captured water in minutes rather than hours.
