Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed to global warming and led to many harmful effects, including shifting ...

A catalyst design developed in the lab of Professor Ted Sargent increases efficiency, turning captured CO₂ into high-purity ethylene for plastics and packaging.

When experimental results don't match scientists' predictions, it's usually assumed that the predictions were wrong. But new research into materials that pull carbon dioxide directly from the air ...

Plants capture carbon dioxide naturally, using sunlight to grow and flourish. Scientists have now found inspiration from nature to develop a groundbreaking system that harnesses sunlight for capturing ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

Sustaera achieves 90%+ energy efficiency, ushering in 3rd-generation, electrically-powered Direct Air Capture at over 3x lower cost than prevailing technologies Sustaera RTP, NC Prototype & ...
