Rice University researchers have developed a new electrochemical reactor that drastically cuts the energy needed for direct air capture.

The reactor's secret sauce is its unique three -chamber design with a special porous layer at its core.

While it's busy capturing carbon, it can also produce clean hydrogen fuel as a bonus, making the whole process much cheaper.
