Injecting Tiny Proteins Into the Hunt for ‘Clean Coal’

As big engineering fixes go, “clean coal” has proved an elusive concept. Carbon capture projects remain experimental, expensive and energy intensive. But working with some of the tiniest things in nature, scientists are engineering proteins found in living things to trap carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants. “Biomimetic design” is the idea of using nature [...]
