Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. DETA, a chemical bound inside the porous melamine, grabs CO 2 and removes it from the gas, with nitrogen vented to the atmosphere.
