Engineers cook up a new way to tackle CO2: Make baking soda
Engineers have found a material that can collect carbon dioxide from the air. When later mixed with water, it forms baking soda that can be shed in the sea.

A prototype fabric could help keep cars, buildings and other spaces cooler during heat waves while also reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
Computer scientist Eakta Jain is looking at human-horse interactions for ideas about how to design robots that work well with people.
Using saltwater would allow coastal cities to save their freshwater for drinking and to reduce their carbon footprints. Some could save money, too.
Microplastics in the soil hinder plant growth. But two finalists at Regeneron ISEF found that fungi and farm waste can reduce the harm.
The unusual, fruit-inspired structure of this material provides quick filtration that could satisfy people's daily water needs.
By searching ancient texts and ruins, scientists found a concrete recipe that could make buildings stronger — and help address climate change.
This interplay between plastics and metals could affect how each affects the environment — and suggests opportunities for controlling their risks.
Keeping buildings cool can use a lot of energy. Thanks to quantum computing, engineers designed a coating to cut the warming light that enters windows.
Instead of throwing unneeded things away, scientists recommend moving to a cycle of reducing, reusing, repairing and remaking old things into new ones.
