💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Scientists at #ETHZurich in #Switzerland turned leftover #proteins from #tofu and #cheese production into tiny beads that trap #CO2 from the #air.

The beads work at room temperature, can be reused many times, and when they eventually wear out they can become fertilizer or #biofuel – all while outperforming existing #carboncapture #technology.
