DARK SECRETS: Richard robson | Rare Historical Photos

Nobel-winning chemist born to Palestinian refugees grew up with 9 siblings in one room without running water or electricity; after moving to the US in 1980, he developed technology to harvest water from dry desert air without electricity

Omar M. Yaghi, a distinguished Nobel laureate, grew up in Jordan, where he faced the harsh reality of water scarcity. This early challenge inspired him to invent metal-organic frameworks, known as MOFs. These remarkable structures efficiently extract water vapor from the atmosphere and are also poised to revolutionize carbon capture…
