@UTAustin just built a real-life Dune stillsuit.
A jacket that pulls drinking water from the air. No batteries. No pump. Just sunlight and hydrogel fabric — up to 30 ounces a day.
Research out of @CockrellSchool led by @UT_YuGroup.
The stillsuit was always the idea. They just got closer than anyone expected.

Professor John Goodenough is a legendary scientist, a tremendously kind and supportive mentor with big heart for science and humanity, a very inspiring colleague for many of us. He is well remembered for his lasting impact and legacy on The Forty Acres @CockrellSchool @utmechengr
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize
"We compete against problems, not against people." John B. Goodenough is the oldest person ever to receive a #NobelPrize. He was 97. Watch our interview with him. We talked to the extraordinary chemistry laureate about life, science and love: youtube.com/watch?v=jBTfdU…
