"Chemists are at the center of this [climate] revolution, and we have to keep playing a role,” CAMES director and ETI scholar Laura Gagliardi says.

Work revealing how water impacts carbon dioxide capture from air named Journal of the American Chemical Society “Editor’s Choice”

New research from the Center for Advanced Materials for Environmental Solutions (CAMES) demonstrates how close collaboration between theory and experiment can turn unexpected results into real-world climate solutions.

“Mismatches between simulations and experiments are not failures, but opportunities,” the researcher noted.

As part of a summer focused on research, mentorship, and community, SURF-CAMES fellows and researchers stepped away from the lab to take in a different kind of structure—those that define the Chicago skyline.

A recent visit to Numat Technologies provided an opportunity to exchange ideas, align goals, and explore the potential of translating cutting-edge research into real-world environmental impact.

The multidisciplinary Center develops materials with practical applications, like methane capture, water harvesting and CO2 conversion.

Professor Laura Gagliardi shares new research that could advance carbon capture technology. Gagliardi will work under the Institute on a new initiative aimed at revolutionizing materials discovery process to meet urgent climate deadlines.
