In field tests, device harvests water from desert air

You really can extract clean drinking water right from the air, even in the driest of deserts, MIT researchers have found. They’ve demonstrated a real-world version of a water-harvesting system based on metal organic frameworks, or MOFs, that they first described last year.

Fabric Aggregator: A flexible solution to our traffic demand

All traffic that leaves or enters Facbook’s data centers is handled by the fabric aggregation layer. Traffic that flows between buildings in a region is referred to as east/west traffic, while traffic exiting and entering a regions is known as north/south traffic. As we scale our regions and introduce more immersive experiences, both types of traffic continue to grow, although at different rates.

By 2015, Hamann says, the technology—which uses machine learning to extract insights from multiple layers of information—proved itself. Gallo improved yields on the test site while reducing water use. The partnership quickly found another use for IBM’s AI: analyzing a number of variablessuch as proximity to the winery, weather patterns, elevation, days of sunshine, and other factors toidentify suitable locations for new vineyards.
