Conclusion: snow is not just cold, it’s a signal
Snow in the desert is not just a joyful natural spectacle. It’s a dangerous signal indicating that the balance in the global climate system is being disturbed. The Atacama Desert once again reminds people of the importance of living in harmony with nature

#Wassersammler entzieht #trockener #Wüstenluft #Wasser:
Die #Atacama-Wüste gilt als die trockenste Region der Welt.
Ein solcher #Wassersammler entzieht nachts der kühlen #Luft #Feuchtigkeit. Wenn die Sonne ihn tagsüber erwärmt, gibt er das Wasser ab. Das Team um Bachir El Fil vom Georgia Institute of Technology nutzt ein #Hydrogel als #Absorbermaterial. Es basiert auf vernetzten #Polyacrylamid-Polymeren, die mit dem #Salz #Lithiumchlorid versetzt wurden.

The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) started its journey from Duisburg to the Chilean Atacama Desert in January.
Now it has arrived at the 5600 m high Cerro Chajnantor!
