Omar Yaghi, a renowned chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, has pioneered a groundbreaking technology capable of producing up to 1,000 liters of clean drinking water per day directly from the air, even in regions with extremely low humidity levels of less than 20 percent. This innovation offers a potential solution to water scarcity in some of the worlds driest and most remote areas. The device, developed by Yaghis company Atoco, employs advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to efficiently capture atmospheric moisture. It operates using low-grade heat sources such as sunlight, which allows it to function off-grid without relying on conventional power systems. About the size of a standard shipping container, the unit is designed to be portable and scalable, making it suitable for deployment in remote villages, isolated islands, and disaster-stricken regions where access to...

Jide Oyekunle, Abuja Kenya has signed a historic five-year health agreement with the US, the first such pact since Donald Trump’s administration overhauled its foreign aid programme. The $2.5bn (£1.9bn) deal is aimed at combating infectious diseases such asHIV/Aids, malaria, and tuberculosis, maternal care, polio eradication and infectious disease outbreak response and preparedness in Kenya, with similar agreements expected to be rolled out in other African countries aligned with Trump’s broader foreign policy goals. The government-to-government deal aims to boost transparency and accountability but has raised fears it could give the US real-time access to critical health databases, including sensitive patient information.
