In a significant breakthrough against climate change, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a groundbreaking material that can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in just five minutes. The innovative discovery was led by Chinese student Zhou Zihui, marking a potential turning point in global efforts to combat rising CO₂ levels.
CGTN’s Mark Niu spoke with Zhou about the implications of this new material. The rapid CO₂ absorption capability could revolutionize how industries and nations tackle greenhouse gas emissions, offering a swift and efficient solution to a pressing environmental challenge.
“Our goal is to implement this technology on a larger scale,” said Zhou. “We hope it will make a tangible impact on the planet’s health and inspire further innovations in environmental science.”
