What if the solution to water shortages is already in the air?💧

UT Austin researchers with the @CockrellSchool developed a solar-powered device that pulled record amounts of drinking water from the atmosphere in a range of climates, from the dry New Mexico desert to humid Austin.

Turns out the next big aerospace innovation might be oatmeal 🥣

Making large airplane parts is a slow and energy-intensive process b/c it requires heating large sections of material in giant industrial ovens.

A @UTAustin engineer is solving this issue: https://t.co/0KoI2wvC3i
