Accelerating Direct Air Capture Through Ultra-Thin Amine-Based Surface Coatings

Removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere has so far been a complex, energy-intensive, and expensive process. Empa researchers are therefore pursuing a completely new approach: Instead of trapping the greenhouse gas in bulky filter materials over long periods of time, extremely thin coatings are designed to absorb and release CO2 in a matter of seconds - thereby requiring significantly less energy and material.

Climate-Driven Environmental Change Reshapes Predator-Prey Dynamics in Africa

Although the main prey of spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), migratory ungulates such as blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), now spend substantially less time within hyena territories than they did 30 years ago, hyena clans in the central Serengeti have remained largely stable.
