- Ancient chemistry trick unlocks new type of glass that traps CO2 and hydrogen
Researchers have developed a new porous glass material that can trap CO2 and hydrogen by combining ancient glassmaking techniques with modern chemistry. By adding sodium and lithium compounds, the team made the material more processable and shapeable. This breakthrough has potential applications in clean energy, gas storage, and advanced manufacturing.
