MIT Media Lab–connected research, people, and community moments shaped headlines and campus life throughout 2025.

MIT engineers design a system that uses a vibrating ceramic ring to produce clean drinking water from humid air in several minutes.

CNN spotlights how MIT researchers developed a new ultrasonic device that can extract clean drinking water from moisture in the atmosphere.

The system can be paired with any atmospheric water harvesting material to shake out drinking water in minutes instead of hours.
