Chemists led by the University of Iowa have created a three-dimensional structure that captures water from the air and stores it. The box-like illustration in the center shows the structure before (left side) and after undergoing a chemical reaction involving sunlight (flames in center). The resulting lattice (right side) includes cavities that capture and store water molecules. The diagrams in the upper left and lower right show the chemical arrangement before and after the light-induced reaction.
