Puff, the magic jacket: In this EU project, students design some surprising tech prototypes
When Anna Cain, a master’s student in Barcelona, was looking for inspiration for a school project, she was thinking about climate change and how technology might help.
There was a severe drought underway that “was really bad where we were living in Barcelona,” she recalls; “so I think it was just at the top of my mind.” What if, she and some friends wondered, you could get water directly from the air?
