First snapshots of trapped CO2 molecules shed new light on carbon capture
Scientists from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have taken the first images of carbon dioxide molecules within a molecular cage - part of a highly porous nanoparticle known as a MOF, or metal-organic framework, with great potential for separating and storing gases and liquids. The images, made at the Stanford-SLAC Cryo-EM Facilities,
