Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta.

It's an idea straight out of Star Wars.

Suck the humidity from dry desert air and turn it into drinking water.

What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture evaporators.

Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary loadlifters.

Very similar to your vaporators in most respect. Very similar to your evaporators in most

respect. Very similar to the evaporators in Star Wars moisture farms, scientists have now used a box

of gun metal gray powder to pry moisture from the dry Arizona air by night and deliver drinking

water the next day. The powder consists of tiny structures called metal-organic frameworks, which contain even

tinier pores to grab water. Initially, water goes in, and the first water molecules to go in

adhere to the internal surface and make the pores more polar, so more water comes in.

Omar Yagi, a chemist at UC Berkeley. The powder-filled box is built inside yet another box.

At night, the larger box is left open to let in the cool, slightly humid air. But when it's

closed in the morning, it helps trap heat, an evaporated water inside. The water then condenses

inside the larger box and trickles down to be collected, no cooler or power source

needed. The finding by Yagi and colleagues is in the journal Science Advances. It would take many

truckloads of powder to sustain a community. Every pound of the zirconium-based metal organic
