In this prototype carbon capture apparatus, a solution of potassium hydroxide is wicked up into polypropylene fibres; circulating air evaporates the water in the solution, concentrating it to very high levels. The white crystals are nearly pure potassium carbonate, formed from carbon removed directly from air. (photo by Dongha Kim)

Dr. So Min Park (ECE) holds up a sample of the perovskite solar cell that she and her collaborators designed. When the new cell was measured continuously under solar illumination, it maintained 85% of its original performance even following 1,560 hours at 85 C and 50% relative humidity.
