Changes in the state of matter offer a solution to making potable water in arid regions
Scientists have observed water spontaneously condensing and moving across the surface of an organic crystal that is slowly subliming. This finding could pave the way for a new approach to collecting drinking water from the air in arid regions. Explore this new research context with secondary school students as a real-world context for studying states of matter. Plus, download the story and a summary slide for learners aged 14–16.
