![Environmentally friendly amino acids](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2024-08/story%20tip.png?h=0412f367&itok=YHf2LoPQ)
Researchers at ORNL have demonstrated that small molecular tweaks to surfaces can improve absorption technology for direct air capture of carbon dioxide. The team added a charged polymer layer to an amino acid solution, and then, through spectroscopy and simulation, found that the charged layer can hold amino acids at its surface.
