Researchers discover new chemically-efficient carbon capture method
Researchers at Columbia Engineering and Arizona State University have developed a less costly, more efficient way to capture carbon. Hailed as a milestone to understanding how to take CO2 from the Earth's atmosphere, the team found a new nanomaterial that absorbed CO2 in ambient air and released it when exposed to water. Previous CO2 absorbents have required large energy consumption.
