I don't see a link to the actual paper, or the title... Is the press office concerned about scaring the general public with links to actual science?!

Is the press office concerned about scaring the general public with links to actual science?!
- nkurz 9y agoNo link, but at least they give enough information to search for it. I think it must be this one: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03162-7 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03162-7
- beautifulfreak 9y ago"Here, we demonstrate an air-cooled sorbent-based atmospheric water harvesting device using the metal−organic framework (MOF)-801 [Zr6O4(OH)4(fumarate)6] operating in an exceptionally arid climate (10–40% RH) and sub-zero dew points (Tempe, Arizona, USA) with a thermal efficiency (solar input to water conversion) of ~14%. We predict that this device delivered over 0.25 L of water per kg of MOF for a single daily cycle." So what does a kilogram of the MOF cost, compared to the ordinary costs of acquiring water in dry places?
