Japan invents new material for collecting water in the mist

Japanese researchers recently took inspiration from the surface structure of a termite's wings and invented a new material that can collect water droplets from fog.

Researchers from Japan ’s Ryukoku University and other institutions published a paper in the new issue of the British Journal of Communications Chemistry, saying that they studied a termite living in Australia. This termite will fly in the rainy season, and its wing surface has unique structural features. , Can absorb tiny mist droplets in the air to form water droplets, and then bounce off the water droplets.

The researchers were inspired by mixing two diarylethylene molecules to create a crystalline film, which successfully simulated the surface structure of this termite wing. This kind of film can absorb tiny water droplets with a diameter of less than 100 microns similar to fog droplets in nature, and form larger water droplets for collection and utilization.

The research team believes that this technology is expected to be used to develop surface self-cleaning materials in the future, and it can also be used to collect moisture from mist. (Huayi)
